Description
The present proposal (POSTER) is about the creation of an artistic book of stories that addresses the figure of the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus), the most endangered feline on the planet, and its recovery in the last twenty years. The book includes various themes in its chapters, which delve into the figure of this emblematic feline, whose ears are topped by the so-called “brushes.” A simile that translates into the brushstrokes obtained in the natural environment and that represent an added and differentiating value in this project. The book addresses, from artistic experience, knowledge of the environment and the agents involved in the management and conservation of this emblematic species. The development of graphic content, in the format of informative stories as a travel notebook, aims to serve as a knowledge transfer tool for both the academic and general context, as well as in its social dimension regarding its interaction with the natural environment.
