We recently shared the experience we had with a local artist to highlight the impact climate change is having on our animal kingdom. Today, we’ll take a look at how effective this approach can be, using the experience from our own team, in their own words.
Sharing their thoughts on how projects like Erasing Nature can help with key conservation efforts.
One of the biggest challenges to overcome, is raising awareness of the cause. People are simply not aware of the impact and the huge scale of what is happening.
“I found the day extremely informative and eye opening as it really makes you think about the bigger picture. I think the thing that hit home was the thought of my grandchildren not ever seeing animals such as giraffes in 20 years’ time! I liked that there was no right or wrong way of doing this exercise and loved the way the finished article looked. How one thing led to another, that then made you think of something else.”
To really push the message across, it’s also important to make sure everyone feels included, and that’s certainly something our team felt was very valuable during the experience with Tom:
We had an amazing time with Tom during the day and have certainly gained a greater perspective on the extent of just what’s happening.
“I found that the exercise was really insightful, and I loved the idea of how all the pictures & words we drew were erasing away the polar bear. A very smart metaphor of how we are slowly erasing the animals from our word. The result of the almost completely erased polar bear was actually quite an eye opener, as it went from an amazing charcoal untouched drawing to the reality of what is happening to the polar bear species”.

“What an amazing day with Tom and his drawing of a beautiful Polar Bear, that is on the verge of extinction. Every single person in the world should be thinking of how we can save our planet and all our species, not only animal and insects but plants and trees. Our planet is being destroyed, and this has to stop.! If we all did one thing differently every day eg; reduce how much electricity we use in our homes”.
