Protectors of the secretive pangolin

this little scaly creatures are highly pouched and illegally trafficked mammal in the world,
to rehabilitating them, local groups in africa are working day and night.
I wanted to portray this beautiful bonding beetween them.
at the sametime this work shows an unfortunate reality of some of there protectors.
albinism has a dark relationship with africa, a few groups belives in a superstition that potion made from albino’s bodyparts has magical powers.
so witch doctors hunt and kill albinos, most of this victims are childrens.
there imputed bodyparts, mostly hands and feet gets sold in the dark market for witch craft.
hope this image able to convey the idea of coexistence and and spreads love.
thanks for looking.
