Forty years after the whaling ban, threats remain
Original: Forty years after whaling was banned, threats remain https:// aussie.zone/post/37004793
Four decades after the global moratorium on commercial whaling came into effect, whale populations still face serious dangers. Environmental discussions are highlighting ongoing threats such as ship strikes, entanglement in fishing gear, ocean noise, plastic pollution and climate change, which continue to hinder the recovery of many whale species despite the end of large-scale hunting.
Why now: The anniversary of the whaling moratorium is prompting reflection on how whales are still at risk today.
