The Amazon Rainforest is on fire. Government protections have been reduced and land is being illegally cleared through deliberate wildfires. Indigenous peoples are being burned out of their homes.
The Amazon rainforest sits at 17% deforestation and climbing. Science suggests that if the rainforest reaches deforestation levels as low as 20-25%, an irreversible chain reaction of desertification will begin that could lead to the Amazon and its life-giving rain being lost forever.
I’m hosting a charity event on stream on Saturday, August 31st to raise money for the cause.
It will take place from 1-10 PM EST, on the Picarto streaming site here: https://picarto.tv/LupusDraconis
No account is needed to join in!
DONATION OF ANY AMOUNT AT ANY POINT BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE STREAM WILL GET YOU ARTWORK!
A sketch/thank you drawing is guaranteed, and higher levels of donation will get you higher levels of detail, such as inks or color!
Donations can be sent to me via Paypal or sent directly to your choice of charity! If you choose to donate directly to a charity, please email me evidence such as a receipt to get your art!
Suggested charities to donate are:
– AmazonWatch , which works locally with indigenous people to enact governmental and policy changes to protect the land
– Rainforest Action Network, which is a larger organization that fights companies and industries that drive rainforest deforestationYOU CAN EMAIL PROOF OF DONATION TO: lupus.draconis@gmail.com
Art will be created during the August 31st event, and delivered after the event to all donators who provide the necessary contact information. Further information about the art and the event itself will be available on the stream.
ALL donations given to me will be donated to Amazon Watch.
I will donate all funds sent to me and provide proof of donation within 24 hours of the event ending.
Please consider sharing, joining us for the event and donating to the cause! Thank you, and hope to see you there!
