Madagascar Endangered Species
INSTAGRAM / COOPERATION WITH BEYOND WORDS STUDIO / 2024
We collaborated with Beyond Words Studio as a team of three on this one week project. Our goal is to spread information about the decline of species diversity in Madagascar through the Instagram platform.
We were inspired by the famous movie Madagascar (2005), which depicted a picture of the wild, wonderful, and vibrant natural environment. But little might the audience know: Out of the screen, many of the lovely creatures are facing severe survival situation due to the overexploitation and unsustainable agriculture.
We took the concept of stamps, the classic travel souvenir, to convey an impressive sense of exotic wilderness. In addition to this, we used the data on this postmark as a visual centerpiece to emphasize the urgent environmental situation represented.
We organized the data of endangered species in Madagascar, including:
Basic ecological situation of Madagascar Islands.
The data of General situation of endangered species in Madagascar.
Detailed data of 4 typical endangered species and the taxonomic groups they are from.
Comparison of the global average level with the situation in Madagascar.
