Have you ever seen a red panda? If you answered no, it is because it is an endangered species whose population is steadily decreasing. If nothing is done soon the red panda may become extinct. That is why Explorers Against Extinction exists. Their mission is to keep these beautiful creatures from becoming extinct.

What is Sketch for Survival?

Since the impact of art has grown as a source of hope for animals close to extinction, Explorers Against Extinction has developed “Sketch for Survival”. A competition that aims to counteract species extinction. Sketch for Survival is an artwork contest that invites artists of all skill levels, from beginners to experts, to submit their work inspired by endangered species for display. Their goal is to raise awareness about the extinction crisis and fund programs to protect these species worldwide.

Flippin' Fun for Sketch for Survival

Nina Garza, founder of Artsefact LLC, submitted her painting “Flippin’ Fun” of a Humboldt Penguin to Sketch for Survival. She tried to capture the essence of vitality as our feathery friend flits and flips through crystal-clear waters. With its flippers fully extended and a gleeful intent evident in its every movement, the penguin seems to dance across the canvas. Despite the sad message of being vulnerable to extinction, the painting invites onlookers to share in its joy.
