"Holding on For Life"
Chalk pastel, color pencil, and charcoal
The
Fragile Earth project was assigned to all junior Illustration majors at Mass
Art to create an illustration in response to our Fragile Earth. It dealt with
anything from endangered animals, global warming, and pollution. I focused an
the La
Loma tree frog which is one of the many amphibians
that are critically endangered because of a drastic decline in population due
to a rapidly spreading fungus called Chytridiomycosis. It was on the brink of
extinction until scientists in Costa Rica have finally been able to breed these
frogs but still battle to find a solution to save this species and many others
from this mysterious, deadly disease.
