"Gold Mane"
16x20" acrylic on canvas
(C) Cara Bevan 2007
My painting “Gold Mane” is a sister painting to my earlier
“Fire Mane.” The subject of my artwork is a Golden Lion
Tamarin, a subspecies of the tamarin family. These lively
monkeys share the same characteristics as their cousins,
and their lives are in the same amount of peril. The majority
of tamarins live in Brazil in the canopies of dense rainforests.
They all used to live in one area, but because of
deforestation they have been cruelly split into seventeen
different populations. More than 90% of the original Atlantic
coastal forest habitat has been lost or fragmented to obtain
lumber and charcoal and to clear out areas for plantations,
cattle pasture, and development. Capture for zoos and
private collections also contributed to its decline in the past.
The golden lion tamarin is still under severe threat form
continued deforestation, much of which is undertaken to
create weekend beach properties. Less than 2% of the forest
remains in the region where the gold lion tamarin lives. The
fight to save the rainforests has always been a hard battle,
but some day we will succeed.
