What is Endangered Species of the Week?
Well, as some may know I'm very much an animal lover. I figured this would be a fun way for me to promote knowledge of different endangered species with both information and some visual fun. :3
Every week, on Sunday, I'll post up a new oekaki featuring a species listed on the endangered list along with some fun facts and links to more info about the species.
You're free to use any images from this series anywhere you wish as long as it's not negative in any way and you credit me. :3
You are also free to suggest next week's species.
(I'm pretty bad at being perfectly consistent though so it may not be exactly one week or on Sunday, though I'll try to be better about this.)
