Art for Conservation
Fine print imaging – current initiatives
Lots of conservation sites report on conservation related news and issues – we do too. But we go one step further. We do something about it. Since 1985, we’ve been supporting conservation organizations, conservation photographers and artists by providing printing services and financial support. 2008 and 2009 have been a banner years for us with a long list of conservation projects that received Art for conservation support. Here are a few of our recent projects.
LightHawk
“Soaring in an airplane, the interconnectedness of the landscape unfolds. From the air you can see the way landslides from a logging road carry mud downslope to the once-shaded river, choking it with silt so that it warms and slows and cannot support the wild salmon that used to swim up it to spawn. The view from a small plane reveals misuse of protected land, like off-road vehicle damage in a designated wilderness area or illegal mining operations in a Mesoamerican forest. From above, in fact, there’s not much you can’t see.”
We couldn’t describe LightHawk’s invaluable contributions to conservation any better than this quote from their website. Formed in 1979, LightHawk is celebrating their 30th anniversary October 9 – 11 in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Fine Print through its Art for Conservation program has printed all of the images which will be on exhibit for their celebration.

The Amphibian Project
The Amphibian Project (APT) is a collaboration between five conservation professionals brought together by the Emerging Wildlife Conservation Leaders program working to save one threatened species of frog from extinction. Fine Print Imaging and Art for Conservation produced fine art paper giclées as a fundraiser for APT.
