🐋 Our planet needs whales! Allowing the Earth’s whale populations to recover could have a significant impact on climate change, as they play a critical role in the oceanic carbon cycle. Whales are famously the largest creatures on Earth! Their bodies act as massive stores of carbon. Sure, trees 🌳 are well known for absorbing CO2 from our atmosphere, but in the ocean, whales play an equally important role in the carbon cycle. Today’s global whale population of around 1.3 million animals is still recovering from commercial whaling - their historic population has been estimated close to 5 million. Allowing whales to recover could significantly boost the amount of phytoplankton in the ocean and the atmospheric carbon it captures every year. Help support whales and other marine life by refusing single-use plastics - they can be lethal if ingested by wildlife. The future of the ocean depends on collaboration between governments, business, and people like you who care about the wild! #W...
