@ifawglobal: The first North Atlantic right whale calf of this calving season has been born! Around 370 North Atlantic right whales are left in our world. Last season, 5 whales died from entanglement or vessel strikes… and only 20 were born. This calving season, 50 whales need to be born to grow the population… or 20 whales to simply sustain the population. It is up to the 70 reproductive females left of this species.
