Sketch for Survival is a global art initiative run by Explorers against Extinction; now into their 6th year, they run a photography and art competition that runs alongside Invitational pieces (this is my category), and celebrity donations, all of which are available to bid on to help raise money to help save wildlife on the ground where it is so important.

The annual collection consists of original artworks donated by professional and celebrity artists. The collection celebrates the beauty and colour of the natural world while also raising awareness about the threats facing it, including those posed by human activity. 

Diverse artworks, from oils and watercolours to sketches and street art, exclusively feature endangered species and at-risk wild spaces. Art supporting conservation.

All artwork donated to Sketch for Survival is available to purchase either through their annual online fundraising auction which takes place every November time, or from their online or pop-up Affordable Art Gallery.

Already, amazing work has been done with the proceeds that have been donated so far. If you go to their website you can look at the previous projects in which the proceeds have gone to and read the stories that have followed.
