Australian sea lions (Neophoca cinerea) are among the world’s most endangered pinnipeds (seals, sea lions and walruses) and the only pinniped endemic to Australia. Unfortunately research shows their numbers continue to decline. A collaboration between scientists, a cartoonist, a fashion designer and students has resulted in a creative conservation fundraising and awareness program that is having continued success and growth.
