Save The North Atlantic Right Whales From Extinction
Save The North Atlantic Right Whales From Extinction
Why this petition matters
The North Atlantic Right Whale is one of the most critically endangered populations of large whales in the world. The two leading causes of death are human activities that we have the power to mitigate: entanglements in fishing gear and collisions with vessels. Considering that only about 360 North Atlantic right whales remain – with fewer than 80 reproductive-age females – each unnatural death elevates their risk of extinction. Did you know how important the North Atlantic Whales are to our Ecosystem ??? Why are North Atlantic Right Whales Important? Whales help regulate and maintain ocean food chains. In fact, whale poop helps stimulate the growth of phytoplankton which pull carbon from the atmosphere to provide a cleaner and healthier breathing environment for all animals including us. Please help save them.
