Open Call for the Wildlife Spotlight Series
Our Wildlife Spotlight series invites creatives to share what makes a creature special and how it interacts with us and our shared environment through various forms of media.
Through writing, illustration, film, and photography, each feature celebrates both the creature and the artist who brought its story to life.
Deanne Fernandes, Creature Conserve’s Creative Content Program Leader, is Curator of the Wildlife Spotlight Series.

WILDLIFE ILLUSTRATED
“Wildlife Illustrated” celebrates the ecology and zoology that inspire illustrators.
Each feature focuses on a single species, exploring its form, behaviour, and habitat through the artist's eye, alongside a personal reflection on why that animal captured their imagination.
