Konica Minolta Animal Papercrafts



Konica Minolta is a company known mainly for their optical devices, medical and graphic imaging, office equipment, and measuring instruments. They were also known for their camera business back when they were still doing it, they have given it up due to financial losses. But in spite of all their difficulties, they found time to provide us with some good quality papercrafts. There's this section on their Japanese web site about environmental awareness, in it they have some animal papercrafts that are highly endangered. They might look like a funny bunch, but their situation is no laughing matter. Habitat destruction and hunting are the common threats that they share with each other. So build an animal papercraft in their likeness and help educate others of their plight.
