On top of seals, the Seal Signal wants to celebrate art & writing. For us, art and a sense of wonder about the natural world are deeply connected. For successful conservation, we need creativity, connection, and compassion, three key ingredients in art to create a deeper understanding of the world around us and the worlds within us. Thank you to our artists who make the Seal Signal shine bright!
