Description
The Verreaux's sifaka is one of the nine sifaka lemur spieces, all endemic to Madagascar. They inhabit different types of forests in the southwestern regions of the island. They are primarily arboreal - they can leap up to 10 m from one tree limb to the next - but they are also known for a highly specialized form of bipedal hopping while on ground: this characteristic saltatorial movement is casually referred to as 'dancing'. Recently all nine sifaka species were uplisted from endangered to critically endangered, though the status change is not yet official.
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.
