The Hellenic Trench in the Mediterranean is a key ecosystem for endangered sperm whales. Fewer than 200 of the majestic creatures are left alive in the area – and more die off all the time, often as a result of being hit by large ships. That’s why it’s so important for big shipping companies to […]

Petition: Help Protect Endangered African Elephants

This failure to protect these majestic creatures have left them vulnerable to practices that could drive the Western Gray wolf population back towards extinction. We must […]
Bottlenose Dolphins Have a “Seventh Sense”
Bottlenose dolphins have astounded scientists with a remarkable sensory ability: electroreception, often dubbed their seventh sense. While humans rely on taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight, dolphins elevate their sensory repertoire with the detection of weak electric fields. Recent studies, notably from the University of Rostock and Nuremberg Zoo in Germany, have illuminated this capability. […]
