What will happen to us if there are no more animals?


Since my childhood, when I first became aware of animals I wanted to take care of them. The older I got, the more I understood how many species that were endangered. I have been involved in WWF's various sponsor projects, but felt that I wanted to do something more, I wanted to influence people.


Then one day I came across a red-list (a compilation of various Swedish species in risk of extinction), there were two things that immediately struck me: The first was the realisation that so many animals that are on the verge of extinction and the second was, so many species exist that I have never heard of. Then an idea arose in me that I should try spread information about the species that we are about to lose, but also the importantance of gaining an understanding of these animals including what they actually look like.


I started building endangered animals out of paper in 1:1 scale.
