- Introducing the new Friends of Fauna in-game community program - Share a photo of any animal - from wildlife to pets - Monthly winning submission becomes an in-game puzzle

Since its February release, The Art of Fauna has established itself as one of mobile gaming's most elegant and contemplative puzzle experiences. The latest update brings a special community-driven feature called Friends of Fauna, available as a free addition within the game.

The program operates through monthly photo submissions. Players can share images of any animal - whether majestic wildlife, service companions, or cherished pets. Each month, one selected image becomes the featured jigsaw puzzle. The inaugural puzzle showcases a Spectacled Bear photograph submitted by community member Denis B.

This update also introduces personalized app icons representing dedicated community members: Valentin's Snow Leopard, Vidit and Benedict's shared Lion, Shiven's Orca, and Thomas' Northern Gannet.

The game also supports wildlife conservation - a percentage of all sales contributes to global preservation efforts.
