      <image:caption>“This coastal living puts this species in significant danger. Pollution, habitat degradation, climate change, underwater noise pollution, and damming of rivers are all considered serious threats to the Irrawaddy dolphin,” says Samantha Ambie, Marine Mammal Conservation Officer, WWF Malaysia, Marine Programme. “However, the largest threat, by far, is bycatch, the incidental capture of non-target species such as whales, dolphins, marine turtles and seabirds.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The southern right whale is one of three species classified as right whales. Right whales are baleen whales, which means they have baleen plates instead of teeth through which they filter their food. These whales live in oceans south of the Equator. Right whales got their name because they were the “right whale to hunt.” They moved slowly and floated to the surface when they died. For these reasons, they were heavily hunted during the whaling era, and the global population plummeted to approximately 60 females by 1920.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Right whales are distinguishable by the callosities on their heads. Callosities refer to calcified skin patches. They appear white and form due to large colonies of tiny hitchhikers called cyamid amphipods or whale lice. Callosities produce a unique pattern on each right whale, making it easier to tell the whales apart.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Patagonian Shelf is not a known foraging destination for southern right whales from South Africa. Nonetheless, last year there were two whales that migrated in this direction and journeyed all the way to the South Georgia/South Sandwich Islands area, a well-known foraging ground for South American southern right whales. However, southern right whales from South Africa typically don’t travel this far west. Since tagging technology is recent, Els and the team don’t know if this behaviour is due to a lack of food availability in areas where the whales usually find food or if southern right whales from South Africa have migrated to these areas for foraging in the past.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>"Fluker” the fin whale became well known in 2013 when she was spotted in the Pelagos Sanctuary with half her tail (fluke) missing, most likely lost in a collision with a sea vessel. Fin whales rely on their tails to dive hundreds of meters to feed on krill. In 2020, WWF-France found Fluker with the other half of her tail sheared off, extremely thin and unable to feed herself. © WWF France</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) killed by collision with container ship, Sri Lanka. Large wound is most likely the result of a direct strike from the bow of a large commercial vessel traveling in the major shipping lanes just south of Sri Lanka. These shipping lanes run directly through the feeding grounds of blue whales and other cetaceans. Photo taken under permit. © Naturepl.com / Tony Wu</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Whales and dolphins are nature positive - but under threat</image:title>
      <image:caption>Growing evidence shows that protecting whales, dolphins, and porpoises has benefits for nature and people. And yet, these magnificent animals face growing threats due to human activities. As a result, 1/4 of the world’s cetaceans are now at risk of extinction in the wild.

      <image:caption>Threats to whales have evolved - and so our conservation must evolve too. From local to regional to international levels, science, civil society, industry, states and intergovernmental bodies all have a role in safeguarding whales and their migrations, mitigating threats and co-designing solutions.

      <image:title>Whaling - WWF opposes commercial whaling</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is primarily because the IWC, which has the sole mandate to manage whales at an international level, has thus far been unable to agree on a robust, demonstrably effective, enforceable and conservation- based management and compliance system that is adhered to by all nations. Furthermore, such a system would have to take account of the cumulative impacts of bycatch, ship strikes, ocean noise, climate change and other threats, as well as the wider impacts of the removal of whales from the ecosystem. Therefore, WWF supports the moratorium on commercial whaling.</image:caption>
