Looking for: A person with knowledge of law, a person for financial development (fund raising) and one more very experienced sculptor.
Goal: The primary goal of this project is to increase public awareness and appreciation of our urban wildlife through the beautiful truth exposed by art and science. This will be done through research of the needs of wildlife in the urban setting. Those needs will be symbolically demonstrated as scientists and artists work hand-in-hand to design homes for specific species. Our highest dream would be to raise the awareness and help people appreciate and understand their local wildlife thus creating a more harmonious relationship between humans and the urban ecosystem.
