A painting with a purpose
Wildlife artist Julie A. M. Edwards created Hidden in the Forest Shadows to raise awareness and support for mountain bongo conservation.
Inspired by Julie’s encounter with a mountain bongo in Kenya’s Aberdare forests, the painting captures the beauty and mystery of one of Africa’s rarest antelopes. With fewer than 100 mountain bongos remaining in the wild, it is a powerful reminder of what is at stake – and what can still be saved.
