100 Beautiful Bird Sculptures Made Out Of Paper

Take a flight of fancy with this flock of feathered friends!

In fact, these colorful bird specimens are not so much on the feathery side as they are papery, because these winged beauties are intricate paper sculptures, painstakingly pieced together by talented artist and illustrator Diana Beltran Herrera, from Bogota, Columbia

The artist studies birds in the full glory and flourish of life: "last week after working a bit with colibries, I started to look more around the world trying to find specific characteristics in certain birds that I found more relevant and that in a way came out of the prototype of some species", she writes, "I will load information about variations I found that I find important. And (it) is nice to understand which characteristics allow then to interact in certain situations (food, behavior, habitat, relations)."

For the South African pulp and paper sector, respo For the South African pulp and paper sector, responsibly sourced woodfibre is a non-negotiable. 

This is why “Forests for All Together” - @fsc_international’s theme for this year’s #fscfriday - means so much. 

As a sector we are celebrating the importance of bringing people together to responsibly care for forests – from environmentalists to big business, from Indigenous Peoples to communities and governments, from forest workers to careful consumers, it is essential that we work together to care for our forests. 

Buy locally produced paper as far as possible and check the source.
