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
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.
