Welcome to the Endangered Animal Arts Club

The Story behind the Endangered Animal Arts Club

Ava is almost 9 years old. Her attention to visuals and graphics was evident from a young age where she spent hours looking through picture books. She started creating illustrations and short stories when she was 6 years old. She was in her elements when creating art work.

She was also in her elements when taking nature walks or playing in the forest behind her home. Her attention to her environment soon turned into a passion to protect the environment and its habitats. She actively researched and gained knowledge of the kinds of animals in danger of being hunted and eventually extinct.

The Endangered Animals Arts Club is the combination of her two interests- her love of visual arts and her compassion towards endangered species. She persistently pursued her passion, persuaded her classroom teacher to sponsor her club, involved her like-minded classmates in creating crafts, put up posters around the school, and finally started selling the art work.

Ava is determined to stop the extinction of the Amur Leopard, the White Lion, and the Polar Bear. Currently, she has chosen the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in their efforts to protect the three endangered species.
