REHABILITATED GREY SEALS BEING RELEASED INTO THE WILD Grey seal, Hailchoerus grypus Cornwall

Based on pup production, the UK is home to 38 per cent of the world’s entire population of grey seals. In Cornwall, there are numerous organisations and charities working together with the common goal of conserving this iconic species. The work mainly consists of noninvasive techniques that keep human interaction with the seals to a minimum, only ever stepping in when it is necessary for the seals’ survival.
