Sustained Investigation #14

For this project, I wanted to capture some of why Spix Macaws are considered endangered. The Spix Macaws are actually extinct in wild life but are critically endangered in Captivity. The struggles they face daily are loss of habitat and illegal trapping and selling. Human presence is the number one issue endangering these birds.

For this project, I only used Oil Pastels.

I researched why they were considered endangered. I sketched out a couple of ideas with the Spix Macaw different items that were possibly causing them harm. The amazon forests are their main habitat but I didn't include that scenery into my project because I wanted to be able to capture the illegal trapping and selling.
