Help Amelia and Kiera Preserve SWFL Wildlife

This past spring, Amelia Wusterbarth and I, Kiera Williams were given the privilege to visit the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Sanibel, Florida, through our International Baccalaureate Visual Arts class. We watched as the wildlife surrounded us, infatuated with the beauty that resides so close to home. We became obsessed with photographing the plants and animals, and watching them go about their daily lives with such beauty. On the bus ride home we were exhilarated and determined to turn this into a creative project that also serves our community. We began exploring different areas in Southwest Florida and posting the pictures we took online, through the Instagram handle @swflwildlifeawareness, and educating the community on what we found. We aim to give back to the Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, so they can continue to inspire those in our community to protect and share the environment!
