For my project, I am planning on creating artwork that demonstrates and represents the extinction of Red Wolves. Being how they are on one of the most endangered animal lists with the Grey Wolves close behind them, I want to bring awareness to this serious issue that's taking place.
Most scientists say that the main cause of their inevitable fate is in conflict with people over livestock loss, intensitive predator control programs, and loos of habitat. Others may speculate and say their future extinction is a result of a long belief that they were dangerous to humans, and in return we attacked them. On the other hand, the wolves aren't normally the first to attack. Their first instinct is to flee from a human after years of living next to us, they fear us and have no reason to attack. So by this, means that the decrease in their population is all due to human interference.
By demonstrating this tragedy through art, I hope it'll bring awareness and to prove how heartbreaking our actions are harming the ecosystem.
I'll be using these pictures to help guide me in creating my art piece:
