🌊🐋 This #WorldWhaleWeek, let’s give whales the right of way! Ship traffic is a major threat to these gentle giants, but *Blue Corridors* are creating safer waters for them to thrive. 🔗 Dive into how we can protect whales by reducing collisions and noise pollution.

In celebration of #WorldWhaleWeek, WWF-Canada's Joshua Ostroff shares his incredible beluga whale encounter in a Baffin Island fjord during a polar expedition. "It was wild. Watching these amazing belugas, as curious about us as we were about them." 🐳

After weeks of 💔 carrying her dead calf—a painful symbol of loss & the urgent crisis facing her species—Tahlequah was finally seen on February 8 without it. Her grief is a stark reminder that we MUST act now. Southern Residents are swimming toward extinction, but we have the power to change that.

👩‍🔬✨ This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re celebrating 3 incredible Inuit women — Lena Neeveacheak, Viola Neeveacheak & Elizabeth Aiyout. They led a tour to other Netsilikmiut communities in NU to support efforts like initiating protected area proposals. wwf.ca/stories/inui...

"The #LivingPlanetReport is that next piece of evidence that shows how clearly we are seeing the decline of biodiversity, characterized by some as a mass extinction event, certainly in terms of the pace & scale of [the] loss of biodiversity around the world." — @jamessnider.bsky.social, WWF-Canada
