Exhibition: Beastiary, A Collection of Animals, works by Lauris Reintjes

“As the sixth mass extinction begins to affect all life on earth, conserving animal populations becomes more urgent than ever before. Estimates show that 12-200 species are going extinct every day. This show features animals that are unrecognized or endangered due to human actions (such as the pet trade, deforestation, or traditional medicine). By sharing these animals I hope to bring greater awareness to them, their environments and aid in their conservation efforts. I hope that this collection reveals the complexity of these species as well as their beauty and helps you want to maintain their populations and habitats for future generations.” Lauris Reintjes
