When the Peccary Project team needed an innovative way to help protect the species and educate rural communities about its importance, they contacted Kitty Harvill and proposed that the species be the “challenge” for her group of artists that contribute to the, “52 weeks - Nature Painting Challenge” group on Facebook. The creativity and generosity of the artists resulted in over 38 peccary paintings showcasing a wide range of artistic styles, and capturing the peccary’s social behavior, environment and charm. These inspirational pieces of art will help raise awareness about the plight of the species and will be an important contribution to environmental education and conservation efforts throughout the many Latin American countries, where the species is threatened.
