Our #whale team in #Antarctica saw an incredibly rare sighting of Arnoux's beaked #whale s! 💙🐳

This sighting is a great reminder of how expeditions like this help us better understand whale ecology and how we can better protect their migratory pathways. #ProtectingBlueCorridors

🚨 Urgent action is needed as soaring temperatures pose an extreme risk to the ocean we depend on and people across the globe.

Climate change is undeniable; immediate action is critical if we want to protect the future of the Great Barrier Reef.

'The harm goes beyond whales -- there is evidence that scores of marine species are negatively affected by underwater noise pollution.' – Melanie Lancaster, senior Arctic species specialist at WWF 🐋 dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/arti…

👏 #COP14 of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) of Migratory Species ended with the adoption of stronger measures.

The conservation threats to migratory species like #whales must be addressed with greater effectiveness because nature knows no borders #BlueCorridors ⤵️ wwfwhales.org/news-stories/c…

The Arctic is warming almost 4 x faster than the rest of the planet 😟

This is changing whales' migration timing, routes & whether they migrate at all.

👇👇 Together we must protect them and the ocean they call home. #BlueCorridors
