"Diamond Dust Sea Turtle" by David White

Released in 2017, this Diamond Dust Sea Turtle Edition was inspired by the plight of Sea Turtles internationally and their precious journey in life.

This edition is an Artist's Proof, one of only five from the Artist's personal collection.

Measurements: 52" w x 40" h

Sea turtles have been around a really long time - the oldest known sea turtle fossils date back about 150 million years, making them some of the oldest creatures on Earth. Just for some context, dinosaurs became extinct 65 million years ago. Unfortunately, six of the seven species of sea turtles are either threatened or endangered. Humans pose the biggest threat to a sea turtle's survival, which contributes to problems such as entanglement, habitat loss and consumption of their eggs and meat.

Dave White is a British Contemporary Artist, who dedicates his work to celebrating popular culture and interpreting emotive issues with his signature style of painting. He supports many environmental charities with his work and installations alongside an international exhibition.

"New Beginnings" by Chris Fallows

Elephant poaching has had a devastating impact on Africa's elephant populations and virtually everywhere on the continent their numbers are plummeting. However, there are a few bastions of hope, where populations are stable or growing. Amboseli in South Kenya is one such location. Dedicated conservation, research and tourism organizations have tirelessly monitored, guarded and protected this population once on the brink of being wiped out.

Today, large herds still roam the dusty plains lying in the foothills of Kilimanjaro and the number of young in this large breeding herd pays testament to the relentless conservation efforts of many, and the rewards that come with perseverance.

"Cheetah" by Kristian Schmidt

This amazing picture was captured by Kristian Schmidt in Kruger National Park in South Africa.

A cheetah can accelerate from 0 to 113 km in just a few seconds, faster than a Tesla!

One way to always recognize a cheetah is by the long, black lines which run from the inside of each eye to the mouth. These are usually called "tear lines" and scientists believe they help protect the cheetah's eyes from the harsh sun and help them to see long distances.

"BedHead" by Kimerlee Curyl

BedHead, Wild Stallion, Utah's Onaqui Mountains.

While out with the wild herds, no matter which area, photographer Kimerlee Curyl finds herself surrounded by the herd leader or stronger stallions. She loves to think it's kismet, however as herd dynamics go, it's the proud role of the leader. Protecting his family. This exquisite stallion was near her almost every day of this trip. Spanish in his look and stature, he was living, breathing poetry as he courted the hearts of young fillies. This image was captured as he was doing just that. Literally courting a beautiful bay filly with big doe eyes away from her family band. Such a beauty to witness as the mare and stallion of her band, put up no argument, knowing this is the true order of things in the wild.

Measurements: 54" w x 36" h

"Grace" by Dan Ostermiller

"Grace" 2015 is an amazing bronze giraffe sculpture and is a limited edition 13 of 20.

Giraffes only need 5 to 30 minutes of sleep in a 24-hour period! They often achieve that in quick naps that may last only a minute or two at a time. So, what do giraffes do all day? Giraffes require over 75 pounds of food a day-and with a diet of leaves, this means they spend most of their time eating and not sleeping!

Measurements: 22" h x 12" w x 26" d

Weight: 42 pounds

Dan Ostermiller is the son of a famed taxidermist and the experience he gained under his father's tutelage influenced Ostermiller's career and was responsible for his interest in becoming a sculptor of animals as well as for his complete understanding of animal form.

Ostermiller has enlarged the scope of his knowledge of wildlife with expeditions to Alaska, Africa and all corners of the West. Ostermiller's sculpture conveys a mood and an emotion. Each bronze engages the viewer, encouraging the touch of a hand and inviting further contemplation. "If I have a trademark, it's the character I put in pieces. I incorporate, I hope, strong design. I give people something they can relate to and a good piece of sculpture."

"On the Move" by Harder Bronze Works

Paul Harder was inspired to create this bronze pangolin by Jackie Chan's pangolin PSA with WildAid where Jackie taught his pangolin friends how to use martial arts to protect themselves from poachers. Paul was drawn to the walking pose selected as it seemed to convey such personality and a specialness to this amazing creature whom is one of the least known animals on the planet.

Sadly, this tough looking little mammal is on the edge of survival with some populations classified as Critically Endangered. They are the most trafficked animal in the world which has led to more than a million being stolen from the wild. The IUCN estimate that a Pangolin is taken from the wild every 5 minutes.

Rolling up creates a hard, spiky, impenetrable ball that can defeat even the jaws of lions, tigers and leopards. However, by cruel coincidence, it is this same defense mechanism that makes human capturing of the pangolins as easy as picking up a ball.

"Together" by Federico Veronesi

"Together" was taken in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. It captures a unique moment when a Lioness and her male partner woke up from their siesta and approached the edge of the rock to look at the future and the world around them together.

"When I pulled up next to this huge rocky outcrop in the eastern Serengeti one mid-afternoon in February, I had no idea what I would find on the rock or hidden in its crevices. I was just driving slowly around the rock when suddenly a Lioness came up to the highest boulder followed by a huge dark-maned male. She walked to the edge and stared at the horizon. I always have three camera bodies with three lenses ready on the seat next to me. I grabbed one and shot this magnificent scene right away, without even turning off the engine as there was just no time. In wildlife photography planning, patience, preparation, are all important. But sometimes you also need to react fast to unexpected encounters and situations. Moments such as this one, where animals pose so perfectly, are very fleeting and wildlife doesn't offer second chances."

The print is a very limited edition of 1 plus 1 Artist Proof at this super large size specially created for WildAid.

The print is framed in blackwood with linen mat.

Measurements: 98"w x 70"h
