Description
The Malagasy sacred ibis has evolved from the well known African sacred ibis – the bird that used to be considered the living incarnation of the ancient Egyptian god Toth. One of the two subspecies of the Malagasy sacred ibis is endemic to the west coastal region of Madagascar, inhabiting mudflats, estuaries, mangrove swamps and coastal lakes (the other subspecies occurs on Aldabra, Seychelles). The species is endangered by wetland habitat degradation, uncontrolled hunting and harvesting of eggs.
A few years ago I started a wildlife conservation-environmental awareness poster project called ‘12images’ - you can find more details and information about it on my blog: http://www.12images.net/endangered-and-extinct-animals/12-images-for-environmental-awareness/.
I started with two 12 piece series featuring already extinct and critically endangered animals and I plan to continue the project with more collections from time to time - this Madagascar series is the first I added. All the new collections will be available as I finish them.
PLEASE, BE AWARE, THAT AS THESE POSTERS ARE PROJECT RELATED, THE 12IMAGES.NET COPYRIGHT NOTICE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POSTERS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE DESIGN AND WILL BE PRINTED ON THE POSTERS YOU PURCHASE.
My whole profit from any sales of these series goes to the Sea Shepherd to support their fight to save our oceans and marine wildlife. For now, you can purchase only wall prints and some products here on FAA/pixel, but I created several design variations more suitable for t-shirts etc. - they are available through my website: please visit http://www.12images.net.
