Rohan gives them equal scale and equal intensity, presenting biodiversity as something worth celebrating before it disappears.</p>\n<p>Each animal is rendered with dense, energetic strokes that radiate from the fur to the edge of the canvas. The effect turns them into sources of light rather than subjects under observation. Conservation imagery often leans into loss and melancholy, but Rohan inverts that instinct with saturated color and a frontal, unblinking gaze, honoring these marvelous creatures with dignity instead of pity.</p>\n<p>For more of Rohan Dahotre’s work, visit his <a href=\"https://www.rohandahotre.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">website</a> and follow him on <a
