Little Clown Face
A Critically Endangered Brazilian marmoset.

• The buffy-headed marmoset is down to no more than 2,500 individuals scattered across dwindling patches of Brazil’s Atlantic Forest.
• It faces a range of threats, from yellow fever to climate change, but the biggest one is hybridization with other marmoset species released into its habitat from the pet trade.
• Conservationists working to save the species warn that populations are declining rapidly, with little funding for studies or captive-breeding programs, and a lack of political will under the current government to act urgently.
• One possible conservation solution is to establish “safe haven” forests for unmixed buffy-headed marmosets that will exclude hybrid animals, but this will difficult and costly, experts say.

Jacqueline Trice ~ Artist

I work mainly in oil with a passion for creating still life paintings that have a deeper meaning.

Added to my collection are pastel paintings featuring endangered and critically endangered wildlife.

Under the Rainbow Events have been a huge support by enabling me to showcase my art.

I have been selected for the Leisure Painter Exhibition at Patching’s Art Centre in 2024,2023,2022,2021,2020 and 2018 with a highly commended entry in 2019.

Also having entered artworks to the Sketch for Survival Competition run by the Explorers Against Extinction conservation charity I have been selected for the longlist in 2024, previously chosen as a finalist in 2022 and highly commended in 2021.

I am based in Kent and create unique pieces of art, undertaking commissions which include pet portraits.

My work is also included in private collections.
