Maritimus

Our first ever event is here!! 🎉 Join us on Sept 1st with your young readers to learn about migratory and urban birds! Texas is especially important to migratory birds across North America. Kids will explore how they can impact and help the birds that fly over our homes throughout the year with an interactive game and a craft! Registration is required! Head to https://lnkd.in/ga89Ew4z to get your tickets. See you there! 🥳

Applications for our intern illustrator position are now closed! We are so grateful to all the artists who took the time to apply and introduce themselves; it was a pleasure to explore your work and witness your talent! We're excited for our new team that will help produce engaging and beautiful content for our readers. Keep a look out! 🎉

[APPLICATIONS CLOSED] Let's talk design, teaching, and nature! We're searching for an illustrator who is passionate about nature and teaching others about it. Their main role will be to create illustrations and graphic designs to visualize the written content. This is a highly collaborative and creative role: we want you to bring your input and ideas to the table! Email us at aasya@maritimusmagazine.com with an introduction and portfolio of your work.

Have you taken more notice of the unsung heroes in your neighborhood since our last issue? The natural world is always at our doorstep, if only we take the time to stop and see!

Given that marine animals (polar bears and orcas particularly) sparked our motivation for wildlife conservation, the ocean holds a special place in the work we're doing here. Hence the name; Maritimus. The ocean is also an astute metaphor for conservation. It holds incredible potential for solving environmental crises yet the ocean itself remains largely undiscovered. Our potential for building a sustainable world is boundless but equally untapped. At Maritimus, young readers explore the potential they hold within themselves to be part of creating a world where people, nature, and wildlife thrive. Share the gift of creating a better world!

"Whether Maritimus encourages readers to embrace their wild side or to continue to appreciate nature from a distance, I hope it leads everyone to recognize that the natural world is everyone’s equally. Nature is a part of all our lives and we, in all of our urban and modern glory, are a part of nature. What a fascinating and magnificent thing that is to be." We've surpassed 70% of our goal!
