Wildlife Art of Paul Bosman

02/11/2019

With conservation being such a major part of his life's work, Paul would have been so honored to be a part of such an amazing exhibit at the Smithsonian. One of his books is included in the exhibit, and some of his work was chosen to display as well. Does the elephant in the logo look familiar? That's Paul's as well.

Once seen as objects of prey, elephants are today the focus of global conservation efforts. Rare books, photographs, manuscripts, artwork, and objects from our collections illustrate this change in attitude from the era of big game hunting to the modern day. Through February 1, 2020.

Last night CBC presented a video report on the endangered Rhinos in South Africa, a rhino being slaughtered every 8 hours in the Kruger National Park. The horn can fetch up to $100,000.00

Recently in Victoria BC an ancient rhino horn went on auction legally and sold for fourteen thousand dollars.
Here's my monochrome of a rhino emerging from the bush in South Africa where I was born. Horns that pre-date the ban apart, I too am saddened by the reported incidents of current poaching there. Voice of America reports that poison is being used to protect the rhinos - Game farm owners have been hiring armed security guards to patrol their reserves, which can be a dangerous job. Now, they are trying a new tactic: they poison the rhinos' horns or ship the animals to a "safe House" at $40, 000 a time.

11 years. That's not long.

Last Days started as a film by Kathryn Bigelow and grew into a cause to educate people of the holistic and urgent problem of the illegal ivory trade.

Kruger's Magnificent Seven were a large part of Paul's life for many years.

The Elephant Hall at Letaba Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park is a museum dedicated to elephants.

The museum covers elephant evolution, biology, behaviour, ecology and research. It also showcases the ivory of eight of Kruger's greatest tuskers (including six of the Magnificent Seven).

From powerful roars to low-frequency rumbles, elephants use a variety of vocalizations to communicate.
