Peekaboo with a Pacific harbor seal🦭👀

This seal can dive 1,500 feet for 40 minutes, conserving oxygen by slowing its heart rate. A homebody, it stays in the same Southern California kelp forests for life. Let’s protect their home.

We rely on nature for our survival.

Yet, over one million species are at risk of extinction due to human activity.

The #GlobalGoals are the answer to declining biodiversity & degraded ecosystems.
