I recently illustrated a memo game "Endangered Animal Babies" for Treecer. This memo game contains 72 unique illustrations and 36 endangered animal species. Each pair consists of the parent and the baby animal and all the illustrations were done in watercolor.

I'm really grateful for this opportunity and very happy with the outcome of the game! The game is sold by WWF Finland and Treecer at the moment.

My trip to Kaua'i, Hawai'i

Yellow Hibiscus: The state flower of Hawai'i. Called the “pua mao hau hele” or “Ma’o hau hele” in the Hawaiian Language (ʻŌlelo).

Nēnē (Hawaiian Goose): The rarest waterfowl in the world. Nearly brought to extinction in 1990 with 50 wild individuals. Captive-breeding programs and reintroduction efforts have given the native nēnē a chance with now over 3,862 birds statewide. I was lucky enough to see wild nēnē goslings. Very special.

Honu (Green Sea Turtle): An endangered species most commonly found near the Hawaiian Island Chain. Typically reaching sexual maturity around 20 years of age, Green sea turtles nest on the same beach where they hatched. This is a photo I took of a female rising up from the shore to lay her eggs.

Landscape photos I took on my trip in Kaua'i.

Kaua'i is one of many islands comprising the Hawaiian Volcanic Island Archipelago. I bought a Kaua'i Geologic History Book to learn more about the island and I am very excited to read it.

#i didn't say much about the human history and culture. but I loved learning about the native Hawaiian culture and way of life too #it is very important to me as an environmentalist that I understand and am aware of peoples connection to their culture and tradition #especially regarding the land. nature itself. and history. #Anyways. This trip truly reinvigorated my love and compassion for environ. Geoscience and I feel like a new person going into the new year #this is like 2/10ths of all the photos I actually took. So many beautiful sights #happy new year #bread #art #my photos #photography #photos #kauai #kauaihawaii #hawaii #hawaiʻi #nene goose #yellow hibiscus #honu #green sea turtle #mountains #wildlife #wildlife photography

Animal of the Day!

Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas)

(Photo by Bernard Dupont)

Conservation Status- Endangered

Habitat- Central Atlantic Ocean; Central Pacific Ocean; Indian Ocean; Mediterranean Sea

Size (Weight/Length)- 230 kg; 120 cm

Diet- Seagrass; Algae; Sponges; Small fish

Cool Facts- Being the only member of its genus, the green sea turtle is a gentle giant. Surprisingly, these turtles are not named after their shell color like most sea turtles and instead are named after their green colored fat under their carapace. Green sea turtles are mostly herbivores, acting as lawnmowers for lagoons. Most beaches that these sea turtles use for nesting are fiercely protected by local people, often seeing the turtles as a point of pride for their community. The eggs are carefully relocated for temperature control, warmer eggs become female and cooler eggs become male. With warming temperatures, wild green sea turtle hatchlings result in a disproportionate number of female turtles. In addition, floating trash, boat strikes, and poaching are the most common cause of death for these turtles, even above their natural predators like sharks. 

Rating- 12/10 (Their shell is a living ecosystem.)
