Anthropomorphism Campaign

The following images were created as part of an Anthropomorphism campaign to highlight biodiversity challenges in Australia, with one image a day for 20 days. We’ve just finished the campaign and it’ll be fascinating to reflect, see how successful this experiment has been for our small NFP and what lessons we can take away from it. Generative AI certainly offers some new and unique ways to reach audiences.

The irony of using AI generated figures to represent creatures big and small certainly isn’t lost on us, but you try getting a koala into some clothing!!!

Day #1

These cuddly creatures are facing a housing crisis due to rampant deforestation. With each tree cut down, their homes vanish, leaving them vulnerable and displaced.

It’s time we lend them a helping hand and protect their precious habitats! ???

Day #10

Wombats can go for a long time without drinking water. They limit their water loss by staying in their burrow during the heat of the day. They also get most of their water from the plants they eat ??

Learn about wombats and the threats they face. Then share this information with your friends, family, and community. Education is the first step in making a meaningful difference to these beautiful creatures!

Day #12

They’re not as devilish as they seem! Tasmanian devils are shy creatures, often misunderstood due to their defensive nature when threatened. Once seen across Australia they are now only found in Tasmania.

Day #14

? Ever heard the ‘Devil’s Chorus’? It’s the unique array of sounds Tasmanian devils make as part of their communication – not a threat, but a devil dialect that makes them truly one-of-a-kind! ?

These vocalisations can range from growls to screams, forming an important part of their behaviour, especially during communal feeding or mating rituals. It’s like a symphony in the wild, a call-and-response that echoes through the Tasmanian forests. ??

We can all play a part in keeping this ‘Devil’s Chorus’ alive and loud. How? By adopting a Tasmanian devil through conservation organisations. Your adoption will help support critical work, ensuring that this unique marsupial species continues to thrive in its natural habitat. ??

As a bonus, you’ll receive regular updates on your adopted devil – a little bit of wild delivered straight to your inbox. ? Let’s make the ‘Devil’s Chorus’ our favourite kind of music! ??

Day #16

?? This week we’re spotlighting the captivating creatures such as the White Seahorse, a precious part of our Aussie oceans. But these adorable marine critters are under threat – their homes are disappearing. ??

These homes aren’t just any homes. They’re verdant seagrass meadows, vital to our marine ecosystems. Seagrass is much more than underwater vegetation. It’s a biodiversity hotspot, a nursery for juvenile fish, a food source, and a carbon sink. ??

But, the underwater rainforests that our White Seahorses call home are vanishing due to pollution, climate change, and destructive human activities. This loss isn’t just a blow to the seahorses; it threatens the health of our oceans. ??

Join us in our mission to protect these enchanting creatures and their critical seagrass habitats.

Make a Clean Sweep: Participate in a beach cleanup. Every piece of rubbish removed is a step towards healthier seagrass meadows. ????

Together, we can ensure the survival of our beloved White Seahorses and safeguard the future of our oceans! ???

Day #17

?? It’s time for our #SealOfApproval and today we’re featuring the charming, yet endangered, Australian Sea Lion. These ‘lions of the sea’ are unique to South and Western Australia, lounging on sandy beaches and frolicking in the waters. But, they need our help.

??? Australian Sea Lions are currently listed as endangered, with their numbers sadly declining. This is mainly due to historical hunting, entanglement in fishing gear, habitat degradation, and limited food resources. ??

But here’s the good news! We can turn the tide and give them the seal of approval they deserve. Here’s what we can do:

1?? Check out and donate to the Conservation Council SA Seal Lion appeal.

2?? Respect their space and avoid disturbances when visiting beaches where they are present. ??

3?? Support sustainable seafood choices to prevent overfishing of their food sources. ???

4?? Participate in beach clean-up initiatives.

Join us in giving these adorable creatures the thumbs up they deserve! ? Let’s ensure the Australian Sea Lions can continue to sunbathe without a care on their favourite beaches. ???

Day #18

Did you know the Southern Bluefin Tuna is a speed demon of the ocean, much like a jet engine in full throttle? But the fast-paced life isn’t just about fun for these remarkable creatures – it’s a survival strategy.

Sadly, due to overfishing and climate change, our turbocharged friends are experiencing a real ‘Bluefin Burnout’. ? Their numbers are rapidly decreasing, and if we don’t take action soon, we might lose this amazing species forever.

That’s where initiatives like the NSW Department of Primary Industries Game Fish Tagging Program come in, offering vital research to help conservation efforts. This program tags and tracks tuna, providing invaluable data on their habits and movements.

Want to help prevent this #BluefinBurnout? You can get involved by supporting sustainable fishing practices and spreading awareness about the critical status of these magnificent marine creatures.

Consider making a pledge to only buy sustainably sourced seafood, or better yet, reduce your seafood consumption. ?? You can also support programs like DPI’s to help gain more knowledge about these incredible creatures.

? Let’s help keep our oceans’ jet engines running! ?

Day #19

? Let’s champion the epic journey of the Flatback Sea Turtles!

Born on our Aussie beaches, these little champions dash to the ocean against all odds. But, like any game, there are rules! ?

Rule 1??: Beaches are their boardgames! ?? We must protect these nesting grounds from pollution and disturbances.

Rule 2??: Dark is the charm! ? Bright lights can confuse hatchlings, leading them away from the ocean. So, let’s keep beachfront lighting to a minimum!

Rule 3??: Mind your step! ? Baby turtles are tiny and easily crushed. Always be cautious while on turtle nesting beaches.

Let’s play fair and square and help these marine marvels win at the game of survival! ?

Will you join the #GameOfTurtles? ? Share this post and spread awareness! Let’s #PlayItSafeTurtles. Every share, every like, every action counts! ?

Day #20

Once upon a time, in the pristine waters of Australia, lived the smallest of all penguins, the Fairy Penguin ??.

These adorable, blue-feathered creatures lived their lives freely in their coastal homes, a true #FairyTail of the animal kingdom.

But, as in every fairy tale, there’s a villain. In our story, it’s the impact of human actions ?. Pollution, domestic pets in critical habitats, overfishing, and habitat destruction threaten to turn this fairy tale into a nightmare.

But fear not, you can be the hero in this story! ???????? Participate in beach cleanups ??, become a volunteer penguin watch beach warden, reduce plastic use, and support local conservation projects and donate to local charities.

Let’s turn the #FairyTail around for these petite penguins, for no tale should ever end in tragedy ??.
