Our Projects
Animal Superpower
Nature often has some marvellous and downright terrifying tricks on how to survive. Animals have some incredible superpowers, from false heads to poison fins to killer eyes. Nature deserves credit for the creative ways it protects and cares for those in the animal kingdom. We want to educate you on some of them and show you how cool nature can be through a monthly Instagram post on Animal Superpowers.
Species Spotlight
In the form of an Instagram post video, WEAN shares interesting details about rare, important and unusual wildlife, the threats they face and what we need to do to understand them better and save them from extinction with a wide range of different topics.
