Friend of the Month
Patch was born with a terrible lesion on his eye. He needed an operation at two weeks old, too young for anesthesia. He was very brave. The operation left him blind on his right side but he healed well. Click above to read Patch's amazing story

ART AND WILDLIFE
"Go to the source - go look at the animals and draw them from life. When you see an animal you haven't seen before, treat it like you may never see it again!"
Wildlife artist Bob Kuhn
Art and photography help promote a better understanding of wildlife, create interest and at times give us a vivid picture of a creature that many of us will never have the chance to view in its native habit.
The Earthfire Institute supports artists and photographs through ad-hoc photographic competitions and other events.
