The Australian sea lion is in trouble, with numbers crashing by 60% in the past 40 years due to historical hunting and modern threats like commercial fishing nets. Efforts are now being made to track their movements with cameras to map their habitats for conservation purposes.
Camera-equipped Australian sea lions have filmed almost 90 hours of footage across 500km, mapping 5,000 sq km of habitat. This initiative provides crucial insight into the sea lions' world, aiding in conservation strategies.
