In his new book, "Endangered", renowned wildlife photographer Tim Flach tries to make readers consider the impact they have on animals.
A happy Indian Independence Day to readers from all over the world! Here's a brand new compilation of some of India's most endangered, charismatic and revered mammalian fauna- The Indian Elephant India's largest land animal is also the National Heritage Animal. It continues to be threatened by habitat loss, man-animal conflict and poaching. The Gangetic Dolphin Found in the river basins of the Ganga and the Brahmaputra, the Gangetic Dolphin has faced a steep decline in numbers owing to hunting, entrapment in fishing gear, pollution and habitat loss. The Gangetic Dolphin is India's National Aquatic Animal. The Golden Langur One of our most endangered primates, the Golden Langur became known to science only in the 1950s, thanks to naturalist EP Gee, after which the monkey has been named Trachypithecus geei. It is found in an extremely limited range in Assam and Bhutan. Habitat loss is its chief conservation threat. The Hispid Hare Characterised by its short ears (compared to other hares), the Hispid Hare is one of the world's rarest hares. It is endangered because of the destruction of its grassland habitat, and is patchily distributed across suitable habitat along the Himalayan foothills. The Hog Deer The Hog Deer gets its name from its hog-like posture while running along the forest floor, with the head held low, in order to avoid obstacles. Like most other grassland dwellers, the Hog Deer too is endangered because of habitat loss. The Indian Pangolin Rampant poaching for its scales and meat have caused shattering effects on Pangolin populations across the world. The Indian Pangolin too has fallen prey to this trade and ranks as 'Endangered' on IUCN's Red List. Pangolin pups often piggy-back on the mother's tail as shown in the illustration. The insectivorous Pangolin is famous for rolling into a ball of armour, on being cornered by a predator. The Lion-tailed Macaque An extremely attractive monkey, the Lion-tailed Macaque is primarily a fruit-eater and inhabits the Nilgiris and the Anamalais in the Southern Western Ghats. Populations of the species have succumbed to habitat loss to agriculture, making them one of the world's most endangered primates. It gets its name from the tufted lion-like tail. The Pygmy Hog Very little is known about the world's smallest species of pig, the Pygmy Hog. The species is critically endangered owing to the destruction of its grassland habitat, and exists in very few known locations such as Manas National Park in Assam. Several efforts to breed the species in captivity have led to a recent rise in numbers. The Water Buffalo One of the largest bovids in the world, a majority of the population of Asian Water Buffalo is found in the marshes of Assam. The animal is defined by its large, nearly semicircular horns. The Water Buffalo is endangered because of interbreeding with cattle, loss of its floodplain habitat, and hunting in countries such as Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia. The Dhole or the Asiatic Wild Dog is a highly social animal, living in clans that may consist of as many as 40 animals. Their group hunting strategies also make them one of the most successful carnivores. Habitat loss and disease are the main conservation threats to the Dhole. The Bengal Tiger Our national animal and one of the most alluring species on the planet, the Bengal Tiger is an animal with which India is associated and identified with the most. Best seen in the jungles of Cenrtal India, tigers have not only boosted tourism in the region but have also driven conservation. Poaching, habitat loss and fragmentation along with several other problems are causing a steady decline in the tigers’ numbers.

Our botanical and bird prints each come in three sizes: 5x7, 8x10, and 11x14. Our fish prints also come in 3 sizes, but slightly different: 6x9, 9x12, and 12x16. These prints are all available plain, matted, and framed with or without mats, with the exception that 5x7 and 6x9 are not available framed without mats. About Frame Sizes Frames are designated and referred to by the size of their opening, NOT by their outside dimensions. This is the industry convention and makes standardizing frames easier. An 8x10 frame is an 8x10 frame is an 8x10 frame, regardless of whether the frame molding is half an inch wide or 3" wide. Any frame described as an 8x10 has an opening sized to fit an 8x10 print or photo perfectly. Print Size Matted Size No Mat/Frame* Mat/Frame* 5x7 8x10 N/A 8x10 8x10 11x14 8x10 11x14 11x14 16x20 11x14/13x16 16x20 6x9 9x12 N/A 9x12 9x12 12x16 9x12 12x16 12x16 16x20 12x16 16x20 *Add 2" to each number to calculate outside frame dimensions for our frames. If using your own frame, add 2x its molding width to each number. How much Wall Space? To know the true amount of wall space a framed print will occupy, you must add the width of the frame molding on all sides to the standard designated size of the frame. The molding width of all the frames we sell is approximately 1". Therefore, you must add 2" (1" left and right, 1" top and bottom) to each dimension to get the finished size: 8x10 is really 10x12, 11x14 is really 13x16, 16x20 is really 18x22, etc.
