Elephant Dung- a crapload of magic!

The full poster is available as A3 size prints. For poster orders within India, please mail me to order your copies (rohanchakcartoonist@gmail.com)

Umbrella Species


In conservation, the term 'Umbrella species' refers to a species that is chosen to plan conservation-related decisions, as the protection of this species indirectly leads to the protection of many other lesser species that share its habitat. Examples other than the tiger include the Northern Spotted Owls and the endangered Bay Checkerspot Butterfly.
