Global shipping traffic in prime blue whale habitat

Map of ship traffic on actual shipping routes from Kaluza et al. 2010

  1. how can we allow or accept our precious whales to
    be sacrificed in this unimaginably horrific way? something must be done to top this most shameful
    occurrence from ever happening

    asha, this should be a petition for avaaz.org
    they have a large following and can affect change.
