Conservation

"The world is in crisis and there are so many causes that need funding, but for me, the looming threat of mass extinction and the ever increasing loss of bio diversity is terrifying. The long-term implications out-stripping all other concerns. It is up to ALL of us to play our part in restoring this fractured planet.  I have pledged to use the best of me, as an artist, to help wherever possible to fund the boots on the ground. A percentage of every piece of work that I do, whether it be an original work, limited edition print or cards, will be donated to various charities, helping myriad environmental crises'.     "

I am absolutely committed to making a difference to our beleaguered natural world.  I find it hard to specify one area that holds my attention more than another as no part of our bio diversity is less important than the other.  I hope to be doing just as much as possilbe for as many causes as possible.

<em>Edit Conservation Project/Cause</em> King of the Gobi - The 8th most endangered large mammal on Earth | Charlotte Williams

King of the Gobi

Having a love of camels, partly due to having been a camel safari guide in South Africa (many eons ago!), when I met John Hare OBE and heard about the wild camels of Mongolia, I was naturally keen to get on board to try and help raise much needed funds for his Wild Camel Protection Foundation.  (Please do visit www.wildcamels.com for the full fascinating story).

These wild camels, which are separate species from the Bactrian camel, are the 8th most endangered large mammal on the planet and there are only 1000 or so of them left!  They are truly remarkable...
