Hello. My name is Daniel Taylor. I am a professional high realist wildlife artist.
Along with my lovely wife Ginette and through the generous support of the Artists For Conservation Foundation, Planet Organic, Mr. Arend de Haas of the African Conservation Foundation consisting of professional field workers, biologists and conservationists, we will be undertaking an unprecedented flag expedition deep into the remote highland rainforests of south west Cameroon to participate in field surveys and visit primate sanctuaries for a first time ever detailed field study, sketching and photographing of the most endangered primate, the Cross River Gorilla which is in dramatic high risk of becoming extinct within our very near future - with only 250-300 alive in the wild!
Please follow along with us on an exciting documented adventure as we conduct educational workshops creating mural paintings together with school children in three local villages helping to improve environmental awareness and attitudes of local communities toward these amazing great apes.
On the Artists For Conservation website you will be able to closely follow the expedition on what would hope to be daily video, photos and journal reports. You will also be able to follow the adventure closely using the schedule and maps supplied.
We know you will enjoy this adventure, so please.....we welcome you all along :>)
