ATM (ATMstreetart) paints endangered species street art, using urban walls as a stark reminder of the species that once lived here, yet could again with habitat restoration.
The painted walls exist to call attention to the beauty and importance of living creatures that are so often overlooked and whose needs so often ignored. 
He aims to inspire a transformation of our towns, cities and countryside by reNaturing and reWilding, for the benefit of us all.
By bringing colour and beauty to neglected areas the hope is to inspire active participation in further environmental improvements.
Small changes repeated on a large scale can have dramatically positive effects.
As well as in locations throughout the UK, his work can be seen in Poland, Norway and New York
