Title: The Leopard of love
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Artist: Tim Marsh
For: his personal project Problezoo

“For this door of the #poblezoo, i chose to paint an Amur Leopard.
BUT DON’T THINK IT’S A LOVE POST :
His name is a reference to the river close to which they live, called Love (Amur), that crosses Siberia and China.
The Pantheras Pardus Orientalis lives in the south-east of Russia, and north-east of China.
To this day, there’s only 50 of them left.
WHY?
Their extinction is directly due to human activity : on one side, humans keep stealing their land. 90% of their territory has been deforested, for industry purposes.
And on another side, their bodies are believed to have virtues in chinese medecine, and they’re outrageously hunted. Yup.
If this doesn’t change very soon, you can say goodbye to the Leopard of Love…”
