The Wild Was is a children's picture book from a future no one wants: a world in which the animals are extinct.
Set in 2061, the book is a preview of what could happen if we allow current trends to continue and rob future generations of an essential part of being human.
The project was born from the disconnect between the love parents have for their children, the love those children have for wild animals, and the baffling lack of urgency around protecting wild habitats. Our goal is to make the abstract concept of mass extinction feel concrete and visceral.
This is a pro-bono project, and all proceeds will go toward wildlife conservation.
