Art and Endangered Species- Artists have a voice

Artists make art about things they care deeply about. 

Some artists care about the flora (plants) and fauna (animals) on our planet, and want to raise public awareness for the many endangered species (a kind of animal or plant that in serious danger of becoming extinct.) 

Louis Masai creates murals to bring attention to endangered species, by making murals in busy cities for people to notice as they walk by. 

Eleven year old artist, Bria Neff, paints pictures of endangered species to raise money to help help them.
