18 photos d'animaux majestueux sauvés du marché noir international

Dans une série de photos intitulée "Where the Wild Things Are", la photographe Natasha Wilson travaillant pour De Anastacia Photography a collaboré avec Animal Tracks, un sanctuaire consacré aux animaux sauvés du marché noir et du trafic international d'animaux.

 

Il s'agit souvent d'animaux appartenant à des espèces protégées et en danger qui sont malheureusement capturés pour être revendus comme animaux de compagnie "exotiques" à de riches personnes. Le problème est que durant leur captivité ces animaux deviennent accoutumés à l'humain et sont après incapables de réintégrer leur milieu naturel. Le sanctuaire Animal Tracks est justement là pour accueillir ces animaux et leur offrir une seconde vie la plus heureuse possible.

 

La photographe a voulu montrer à travers cette série de photos la force de ces animaux qui ont conservé leur majesté malgré les épreuves horribles qu'ils ont enduré mais également l'importance de lutter contre le commerce illégal d'animaux qui éloigne des êtres vivants qui n'ont rien demandé loin de leur milieu naturel. Découvrez dans cet article 18 des superbes clichés de Natasha Wilson.

 

1. Monzo le serval

 

 

•SERVAL CAT• Monzo is one of the last remaining animals of the original Animal Tracks family. He is an 11 year old African Serval, the mid size cat of Africa. He was confiscated by Fish and Game from someone who had him illegally. He is a sweet old man, always looking for some love, and is a great ranch ambassador for his species • •WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE• is an ongoing series to raise awareness for the wild life sanctuary, @animaltracksinc! The animals at AT have previously been imprinted by humans before arriving because of black market trade, trying to keep undomesticated animals as pets, etc. Because of that, they have no chance of survival on their own. Animal Tracks (AT) is alive purely because of their love for all animals and have built a more than adequate home for their survivors. I have seen no greater team care for and love these animals, and because of that, I strongly want to help in anyway I can • If you love this series and want to donate to a great program, click the link in my bio to help supply food and shelter for Animal Track’s sanctuary! OR- if you’d like to schedule a tour, meet all of the amazing animals from our set AND get a couple great selfies, head to Animal Track’s website to set up a tour today! • ?@zoebelleelyse in @michellehebertofficial with MUA @christinaturino Hair @tildebymatilde , Handmade rugs & decor by @rughouse_mustafa with floral arrangements by @growupflowers?
