I created this colour pencil drawing of the blue poison dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius azureus) because I want to raise awareness of reptiles and amphibians in wildlife conservation. These lovely little frogs are native to Brazil, Guyana, and French Guyana. Blue poison dart frogs are protected by CITES appendix II, as they’re often taken from the wild for the pet trade. I do enjoy seeing these guys at zoos and conservation parks, and I hope they become more protected and conserved.
