Save the Whale Populations
"So what
can you and me do to help
to save the whale populations.."
Large whales don't have many predators.
While calves and sick individuals may sometimes be taken by sharks or killer whales, generally they don't pose a threat to large, healthy baleen whales. The biggest threat to those whales are humans.
Whaling, particularly in the last century, cut their numbers down by 90%. Other human-caused threats are water pollution which damages the whales' health and causes an amount of different diseases; noise from boats (whales' ears are very sensitive); and competition with fishing boats.
The ways to help their conservation are to
* protest against whaling and sign a petition wherever you can;
* not eat any whale meat or buy any whale products
* not pollute water or environment generally
* protest against overfishing
* Adopt a Whale
Maybe one day we even get so far that the cruiser ship industry will be forced to limit their activities due to the noise they create underwater.
