Rainforest Sanctuary 2: Amazonia
Amazonia is part two of Rainforest Sanctuary, a series of illustrations about the South American tropical rainforests.
I’m fascinated by the immense diversity of animals and plants found in the rainforests, the ancient knowledge of the indigenous and people of African descent who live there. They are highly integrated with nature, working with it, making it part of their lives, respecting it and sharing it. Their knowledge can solve many of the main environmental crises happening today.
These illustrations are my way of keeping these places alive. It's my way of reminding myself and telling others that they are in need of protection.
This animated piece was used as an interstitial during "The Green" programming on The Sundance Channel.
