Some of the world's largest and
most majestic creatures are
threatened. | | |
Only 336 North Atlantic
Right Whales Remain in the Wild. They Need our
Protection! | | |
A devastating
new report shows that, yet again, North Atlantic right
whale populations are dropping — this time by
another 8% between 2019 and 2020. These
creatures are vital members of their oceanic homes'
ecosystems, not to mention downright magnificent. They
are some of the largest mammals on Earth, weighing in at
up to 140,000 pounds and growing to as long as 52 feet!
But these intelligent,
long-living whales which once numbered in the tens of
thousands are no match for human development.
The two leading
causes of death among right whales are human-induced and
thus, preventable: collisions with vessels and
entanglement in fishing gear. Luckily, the Scientific
Assistance for Very Endangered (SAVE) Right Whales Act
can help us protect the few whales that remain by
regulating the industries most responsible for their
demise. Sign now to tell
Congress: pass the SAVE Right Whales
Act! | | |

P.S. Hunting
pushed North Atlantic right whales to the brink of
extinction. Now that it's banned, ship collisions and
fishing net entanglement threaten the mere hundreds of
whales that are left. Congress must pass the SAVE
Right Whales
Act! |

the power to save them!
