@fisheatingorca: ONLY 74 ORCAS LEFT. READ CAPTION. ❓️- WHY are the Southern Resident orcas going extinct?: lack of prey (salmon), ocean noise, and pollution. The lower four snake river dams have destroyed the local ecosystem in the pacific northwest because they have made the Chinook salmon, the lifeblood of the ecosystem, endangered. Because these orcas feed primarily on a now endangered fish, they too have become endangered. ❓️- "But aren't there 50,000 orcas?": Total stock, YES! Orcas in general are very abundant. BUT, orcas are sometimes isolated in certain groups and do not breed or socialize with other orca. If we let one orca group go extinct.. then another... then another... We could lose ALL orcas with that mindset! ❓️- HOW can I help?: simply being aware is all I ask for! I recommend checking out the film "Dammed To Extinction" (FREE on YouTube) to learn what you need to know about these orcas and the dam (its a very intriguing movie!). If you want to go a step further, you can volunteer for habitat restoration or any other typical action to support the environment. You could also donate (orca conservancy, center for whale research) or even ADOPT YOUR OWN ENDANGERED WILD ORCA (Thewhalemuseum.org!) I recently adopted K20 "Spock"! footage: dammed to extinction & jason sheilds (orca behavior institute) #orcas #savetheorcas #conservation #marinebiology #unitedstates
