Fading species: Raflessia arnoldii
Like so many other species that are confined to the tropical rainforests, rafflesia is threatened by the lost of its habitat due to deforestation for timber extraction and conversion to oil palm plantations and other monoculture crops. It’s not only sad for the lost of a species, but it also has a broad use of medicinal purposes. Up until today, no one has successfully managed to grow the rafflesia by artificial methods. This means that the only way to safeguard this exceptional and attractive flower is to preserve its habitat. What can you do to help? Avoid products that contain unsustainable palm oil; buy FSC-certified wood and paper products; and reduce your garbage output as much as possible.
This painting is sold with a floating metal frame, ready to hang. Size with frame: 37 x 25 x 2 inch.
