Almost every day we hear the devastating news that another animal species is coming to its end. The numbers of some endangered species have come down to only a handful of animals in the wild, while others have officially gone extinct.
Overstimulated as they are in the modern age, people tend to ignore this information, swiftly forgetting that our own species is to blame for the loss of precious wildlife diversity.
By occupying more and more space for buildings, shopping malls and parking lots, by hunting down rare animals and transforming almost every protected area into a tourist attraction, we are taking away the home of many irreplaceable critters.
Eisa Baddour is a Syrian visual designer, currently located in Milan, who has traveled all across Europe only to find that humans are brutally expanding and destroying many natural animal habitats in the process.
His project, called “Archianimals”, is drawing attention to the way we treat Mother Nature. He draws animals in the ambient of the buildings that have risen in their surroundings and begs the question: what is more important, creating another building or saving a species?
According to Eisa, humans are the most adaptable species, therefore we ought to try and adapt more, and destroy less. Check out his peculiar, touching project in the gallery below!
