North Atlantic right whales are among the world's most endangered whale species.
Only around 370 individuals remain.
More than 140 of them have been killed or injured since 2017 in an "Unusual Mortality Event."
Yet President Trump is considering slashing federal rules that protect North Atlantic right whales from the leading causes of their decline: deadly ship strikes and entanglement in commercial fishing gear.
Without these safeguards, these whales could be functionally extinct just 10 years from now.
We are fighting to save them.
