Celebrate World Whale Day in Style by Supporting Whale Conservation
Whales, as majestic giants of the ocean, captivate us with their grace, intelligence, and sheer size, evoking awe and reverence globally. Despite their beauty, whales face threats such as commercial whaling, global warming, pollution, and unsustainable marine tourism.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, 6 out of the 13 great whale species are classified as vulnerable or endangered.
Research by the International Monetary Fund suggests that the conservation of whales contributes significantly to limiting greenhouse gases and global warming. The ocean acts as a vast carbon sink, absorbing 31% of CO2 emissions and releasing more oxygen than Earth’s forests combined.
