A few words from Shepard Fairey
"The Earth’s eco-system is beautifully complex but fragile. Biodiversity is essential to maintain the delicate balance our world needs to remain healthy. Half of the Earth’s species have disappeared in the last 50 years alone. Many beautiful creatures are gone forever, and each loss erodes the foundation of our eco-system. My poster “Protect Biodiversity-Cultivate Harmony” is a call to humans to do the right thing for endangered species and the planet by protecting biodiversity and cultivating the harmony of Earth’s delicate systems."
