Throughout human history, nature has inspired art. Today, many modern artists use music, paint, and other mediums to shine a light on the challenges facing the lands and waters they hold dear. In this issue of your Legacy newsletter, meet a few artists and conservationists from around the world who are using their art to help nature.

 

Solving the biodiversity crisis and taking meaningful, rapid action to address climate change is going to require a collective global effort—and art in all its forms can inspire people to get involved and use their talents and voices for nature.
