Filipino artist Patrick Cabral is working with the Word Wildlife Foundation to protect endangered species by making paper animal sculptures.
Cabral layers intricately cut paper until the piece is a three dimensional sculpture of an endangered animal. These paper animal sculptures have incredible detail and look extremely delicate, a play on the animals' position in their natural habitat. 50% of the profits from each sale of this collection will go to support charitable organizations like the WWF to support awareness for endangered species.
As the Giant Panda exits the endangered species list, work with organizations like WWF becomes even more crucial. The support of global artists like Cabral and his paper animal sculptures works to bring attention to organizations who are working to protect endangered species.
