Bernard Peyton‘s origami animals combine science and art to help create parks and spread awareness surrounding the threatened species parks contain. Some of the animals he features are not necessarily endangered themselves, but their natural habitats are being threatened. Peyton explained to Wired why he uses art as a medium, “I write a lot of boring [academic] articles nobody reads, but conservation also has to appeal to the emotional side”.
