Expedition #6: Cross River Gorillas - The Most Endangered Primate When: November 2007

The AFC Art for Conservation initiative is an innovative program
designed to facilitate fundraising for organizations who support
nature conservancy. This initiative provides a venue for AFC artists
to display artwork to potential buyers from which proceeds are voluntarily
earmarked by the artist to a conservation organization of their
choice.
AFC members have voluntarily earmarked a portion
of the proceeds from the sale of their artwork
to World Wildlife Fund through the AFC's Art for Conservation
program.
The Worldwide Nature Artists Group is an international, non-profit
organization dedicated to nature art, wildlife art and conservation.
