Striking portrayal :: world wildlife fund’s poster



How many endangered animals can you spot in the World Wildlife Fund's poster warning about deforestation?
Now you see them, now you don't - a striking portrayal of animals hidden in a rain forest which could all be wiped out as a result of
deforestation are revealed in a poignant poster.
The poster from wildlife campaigners WWF shows everything from a lion to an elephant which have all been skilfully concealed in a jungle vista.
The animals are camouflaged as if they are part of the tropical and lush undergrowth, but in fact what appears to be a tree trunk or vine is actually a lot more.
Hidden depths: At first glance this looks like a picturesque image of a leafy rainforest

Endangered: The camouflaged animals can be seen marked with a red outline revealing those most affected by deforestation

The poster - part of campaign to highlight the damage of deforestation - was aimed at getting the public to take a moment to consider

how many animals could be lost if deforestation continues at it's current rate.
Forests still cover around 30 percent of the world's land surface but they are being felled at a rate of nearly 30 square miles a year - roughly an area
the size of Panama.
