Okapi studies before I commit to drawing a full okapicorn

Forests gutted, rain muddy. Okapis are trapped in a toxic loop.
Illegal gold mining pushed them to "Endangered." Mercury buys gold, gold buys more mercury. It vaporizes, poisoning the rain and soil.
When the world panics, people hoard gold—and that global anxiety is destroying their home.

11年後のレッドリスト｜オカピ：森は掘られ、雨は濁る【IUCNレッドリスト比較】

今回は、オカピ（学名：Okapia johnstoni）が、まるで「負の回転寿司」に乗せられてしまったみたいな話です。22014年の図鑑では、ケーブルの捕縛ワナが常態化している状況でも、評価はまだ、「NT：準絶滅危惧」でした。ところが、IUCNの最新評価では、違法な金採掘（ゴールドラッシュ）の影響で生息地が分断され、「EN：危機」へと引き上げられてしまいました。だからオカピは今も、「森は掘られ、雨は濁る」そんな場所で生きているんだと思います。この記事は短くて、5分で読めます。よかったら、最後まで読んでいってください。

In a few idle moments, a bit of Okapi drawing practice. Pictures of Okapi on the internet are mostly butts (because that's the stripey part).

Diergaarde Blijdorp heeft al maatregelen genomen om ervoor te zorgen dat de dieren in de dierentuin de jaarwisseling goed doorkomen. In sommige verblijven staat de muziek een tandje harder, andere dieren hebben een kalmeringsmiddel toegediend gekregen.
