Why is Elk Island National Park so important?

Dear Painters,

I hope this letter finds you well. I want to highlight the vital role of Elk Island National Park in wildlife conservation.

Located near Edmonton, Alberta, Elk Island is a hidden gem known for its successful bison conservation efforts, which help preserve this iconic species and support global initiatives. The park's diverse wetlands, forests, and meadows provide a haven for wildlife, including bison, elk, moose, and over 250 bird species.

As an artist and conservation advocate, I am involved in volunteer work with organizations like Parks Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Federation, focusing on mammalian and ecological conservation. My creative projects, such as the Elk Island Painting Kit, aim to raise awareness about the importance of protecting our natural environments.

Thank you for supporting my art and sharing my passion for conservation. Together, we can safeguard the beauty and biodiversity of our natural world.

Warm regards,

Mariam Qureshi
