Following Fathers Day, Wild Heart Ranch Recognizes "Seahorses," the Hardest Working Fathers of all

Wild Heart Ranch's "I Sea Horses" Brand Promotes Awareness of Seahorse Conservation

POINT ROBERTS, WA, June 22, 2006 – Following Father’s Day, Wild Heart Ranch, Inc., creator of the ‘I Sea Horses’ line of children's books and toys recognizes Seahorse Fathers. Wild Heart Ranch promotes eco awareness and conservation in a unique blend of fiction and fact with a series of books and colorful plush light-up toys. From saving wild horses, to endorsing seahorse conservation or educating children and adults about the critically endangered wild Bactrian camel that may hold a possible cure for cancer, Wild Heart entertains, educates and encourages children to make a difference in the animal world.

While many a father in the animal kingdom has nothing to do with their young after they are born, the seahorse father sets the standard for fatherhood in carrying the young. Seahorses are the only male animal in the world that can become pregnant and give birth. Unfortunately Seahorses are becoming an endangered species due to pollution, climate changes, over-fishing and trade for use in exotic medicines. Wild Heart Ranch's ‘I Sea Horses’ line of books and toys features non-profit: Project Seahorse.

Wild Heart Ranch also makes children aware of the importance of conservation through their interactive Kids Club Newsletter and Contest. Wild Heart Ranch’s Contest empowers and encourages children around the world to make a difference in the animal world and help raise awareness to endangered species.
