Logo Breakdown for Endangered Species 2050
Discover the meaning behind our logo, and how it represents the urgent need for conservation.
We have chosen three critically endangered species for our logo. We wanted to represent land, sea, and sky. To do so, we have chosen the Sei whale to represent the waters, the Orangutan to represent the land and trees, and the Kakapo parrot to represent the birds of the air. THE ONLY HICCUP is that the Kakapo parrot is flightless. But we HAD to pick it because it is currently the most endangered bird in the world. It is very close to the DODO bird status, and we just can’t let that happen.
The Kakapo: Nature's Night Owl
The Kakapo, a flightless parrot endemic to New Zealand, is a truly unique creature. Known as the owl parrot due to its nocturnal habits and owl-like facial disc, this bird is the heaviest parrot in the world. Its green plumage provides excellent camouflage in the dense forests it calls home. However, the Kakapo’s unique traits have made it vulnerable to predators, habitat loss, and other threats. The Kakapo is indeed the most endangered bird on the planet. As of 2023, there are fewer than 250 individuals remaining in the wild. The combination of factors that have led to their decline, including habitat loss, predation by invasive species, and unique reproductive challenges, make them a symbol of the urgent need for conservation efforts.
The Orangutan: Guardian of the Rainforest
Orangutans are only found in the wild in Indonesia and Malaysia; specifically on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo, which are shared between the two countries. Orangutans, found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra, are incredibly intelligent and social primates. Known for their long arms and arboreal lifestyle, they play a crucial role in maintaining the health of their rainforest habitats. The reason for their limited range: Orangutans are highly arboreal and rely on the dense rainforests of these islands for their habitat. Sadly, deforestation, illegal hunting, and the pet trade have pushed orangutans to the brink of extinction.
The Sei Whale: A Gentle Giant of the Deep
The Sei Whale, a baleen whale found in oceans worldwide, is a majestic and graceful creature. These gentle giants migrate thousands of miles each year in search of food. Unfortunately, commercial whaling in the past has had a devastating impact on their populations. While whaling is now largely banned, there are countries who continue to kill whales. other threats such as pollution and climate change continue to jeopardize their survival. Whale and wildlife entanglement is an increasing problem which injures and drowns whales who need air to breath.
