Liv Through Art
by Olivia Latimer
Conserv'Inktober
This project was inspired by Inktober, which encourages artists to draw every day of October using the prompt list. I compiled a list of 31 scientific papers that emphasized conservation to be used as the inspiration for illustrations.
The goal of this project was to communicate scientific information through art.
 DAY 1“Dr Seuss and the real Lorax” Dominy et al. |  DAY 2“Future Distribution of Suitable Habitat for Pelagic Sharks in Australia Under Climate Change Models” Birkmanis et al. |  DAY 3“Airport Noise and Wildlife Conservation: What are we Missing?” Alquezar et al. |
|---|---|---|
 DAY 4“Forest Birds Exhibit Variable Changes in Occurrence During a Mountain Pine Beetle Epidemic” Mosher et al. |  DAY 5“Changing Role of Coral Reef Marine Reserves in a Warming Climate” Graham et al. |  DAY 6“Global Consumption and International Trade in Deforestation-Associated Commodities Could Influence Malaria Risk” Moreira Chavez et al. |
