Linking Science and Art
BRI conducts research at the Amboseli National Park
in Kenya focusing on five habitat regions. The book will
highlight approximately 25 birds in each habitat and will focus on research and conservation conducted in the Park.
To help promote this work, BRI is partnering with a group
of world-class artists to highlight the conservation concerns
for these birds.
A Critical Balance: Birds of Amboseli is a juried group of six New England artists who have aim to convey both the beauty of their avian subjects and the need to protect them. The traveling exhibit serves to raise awareness and support for conservation efforts.
Art inspires and educates in ways that will reach beyond statistics, policy, and politics. Each artist has chosen subjects that are found in Amboseli National Park in Kenya, Africa and are listed on the IUCN Red List as endangered or threatened.
