Description
The Pyrenean ibex – or bucardo was one of the four subspecies of the Spanish ibex or Iberian wild goat, a species endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. In the Middle Ages they were abundant in the Pyrenees region, but their population decreased rapidly in the 19th and 20th centuries due to hunting pressure and competition for grazing territory with domestic ungulates like sheep, goat, cattle and horses. The last Pyrenean ibex, a female named Celia, was found dead on January 6, 2000. There are attempts to revive the subspecies through cloning, but with no real success so far.
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 - these are the images of these two collections. I plan to continue the project with more collections from time to time - I've already made another portraying species of Madagascar's unique wildlife. 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.
