West Indian Ocean Coelacanth

Ink pen illustration concerning an individual of the Latimeria chalumnae West Indian Ocean's "Coelacanth", a critically endangered and vunerable species.
In fact, it was just a rare case of "re-discovered" species. Today the estimates are around of some four hundred individuals still alive, which for a fish species, is extremely few. It was digitally worked over (partially) and I print some as stickers or portrait-size illustrations for frames. First available at a veganism-related event in Curitiba, Brazil, in early April 2016. I've kept it around and I'm just posting it here now.
More stuff regarding my other illustrations which subject refers animal rights can be seen in a behance project.
Such register goes all the way through in concerns of endangered species, to population dynamics, the different scopes on the animal rights movement and the concernment of both bio-centric to sentio-centric politics, giving the distinct explanations to unclear blurs that most bland ways susbsist in making. So, this is the first of a series: the following ones are sadly extinct.
Learn what you must as to how to help with animals. Not only those exploited in whatever industry (meat, eggs, fishing, etc), as well as sentient beings victims of other kind of natural disaster or devoid of any means to overcome harsh conditions. Invtervention in nature means helping to reduce the suffering of sentient individuals, mostly than merely "preserving a species", concept which on it's own accords mostly to second intentions.
