Tim Flach es un fotógrafo británico que ha dedicado los últimos 2 años a retratar especies en extinción con el fin de difundir información sobre su situación. Su proyecto Endangered nos ofrece una visión íntima de algunas fascinantes criaturas de nuestro planeta y, por sobre todo, nos alerta sobre lo que podemos llegar a perder, reseñó VIX.

Osos polares, guepardos, moluscos y guacamayos son algunos de estos animales que enfrentan grandes desafíos para sobrevivir…

The majestic snow leopard is one of the most endangered big cats, with its mountain territories shrinking due to farming and climate change, and an average of four snow leopards killed every week since 2008. Around four to seven thousand remain in the wild.

From it’s blistering pace to its wanderlust, the cheetah is uniquely specialised for a slim ecological niche: running down prey in a typical home range. The cheetah is vulnerable to outbreaks of disease due to its alarmingly limited gene pool, with all of today’s cheetahs being as closely related as twins. #iucnredlist #endangered #cheetah #cubs #bigcat #africa #desert #timflach #photography #conservation #wildlife #worldcheetahday

The hibernating Polar Bear In fierce weather, the polar bear hunkers down in a pit of snow and sleeps, sometimes for days on end. This conserves energy that is vital to keep them warm.

I’m talking @zsllondonzoo this evening about how artists and scientists can work together to raise awareness of endangered species. Here’s the magnificent Saiga, who is relatively unknown and would probably feel at home in the cantina in Star Wars. #zsl #endangered #saiga #wildlife #wild #starwars #nature #antelope #timflach #photography #conservation #critical

The Crowned Sifaka This shot is intended to eco the anthropomorphism of a child sat at a school assembly, which emphasises a sense of vulnerability. The Sifaka have exuberantly sideways pogo with arms flung high for balance Unfortunately their homes in the tall Madagascan trees are being destroyed and they only survive in micro pockets. ICUN Red list: Endangered It is also the cover of my new book, Endangered. #endangered #conservation #wildlife #sifaka #lema #primate #photography #timflach #portrait #vulnerable #cute #fluffy

The Blue Throated Macaw is on the brink, with around 250 mature pairs left in the wild. But, the pet trade exports are largely eradicated and local land owners are supporting initiatives to encourage the birds to thrive again IUCN Red List Status: Critically Endangered #endangered #bird #macaw #bluethroatedmacaw #photography #timflach #studio #portrait #animal #texture #closeup #broncolor #canonuk

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas! The Sea Angel is a tiny mollusk who propels its self through the water with their wing like fins. Sea Angels pray on other marine mollusks, and are in turn preyed upon by sea birds, whales and other fish. #spiritual #seaangel #sea #wildlife #macro #canon #timflach #photography #underwaterphoto #endangered #merrychristmas

The Common Hippopotamus IUCN Red List: Vulnerable Eradicating the ivory trade will be a tall challenge. Hippo teeth are highly sought after but until law is enforced on the ground, Hippo fortunes will continue to founder. #endangered #conservation #hippo #amphibian #wildlife #photography #timflach #animals #canonuk #iucnredlist
