Once again, if you can help, or have suggestions, please visit our Giving Tuesday webpage.
Science Art-Nature is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization that serves as a bridge between scientists and artists. With the sixth
extinction underway, informative, evocative images of nature--viewed as Science Art--have an important role to play in
protecting species at risk and calling attention to the errors of the uninformed or indifferent.

Words of the great Australian Science Artist William T. Cooper: ""The most difficult thing about drawing a live bird is the fact that
it is jumping all over. By the time I have drawn the bird a dozen times in a dozen postures, I am starting to know the bird."
..."Cooper was also the first Australian to receive a gold medal from the American Academy of Natural Sciences, which
recognised his "life's work which have contributed to mankind's better understanding and appreciation of living things".
Attenborough's best bird artist lands secure perch
Even when he was a boy of 5, the internationally acclaimed birdman and artist William T Cooper - who British naturalist Sir
David Attenborough described as the "world's greatest living wildlife illustrator" - loved animals.

("Using a sample of 27,600 terrestrial vertebrate species, and a more detailed analysis of 177 mammal species, we show the
extremely high degree of population decay in vertebrates, even in common “species of low concern.”) The paper was picked
up by the New York Times, Washington Post, The Guardian, Le Monde, and CBS News.
