Pick an endangered Irish animal of your choice, or take inspiration from Aga Grandowicz’s ‘Remarkable Creatures: a guide to some of Ireland’s disappearing animals’ (#RemarkableCreaturesBook) published by Natural World Publishing in June this year, and draw it, paint it, make a collage, a 3D art – the choice is yours!
