'Babysitting' the next generation of New Zealand's endangered sea lions
CNN
Sea lions are making a comeback on New Zealand's mainland, but they need protection to safeguard their future.
(CNN) — Like many teenagers, Hannah Yeardley, a 17-year-old living in Dunedin, New Zealand, babysits in her spare time. The only difference is that it's not children she's looking after, it's sea lion pups.
From December through February, during the breeding season and while the newborns are at their most vulnerable, Yeardley wanders down the white sands of a local beach on her weekends and school holidays, checking in on sea lion families nesting in the area. She's volunteering for the New Zealand Sea Lion Trust, an organization working to protect the endangered species.
