Humpback whales in the South Atlantic have recovered from near-extinction

A new count shows the population off Brazil went from about 450 in the 1950s to some 25,000 today.

In the 1950s, the South Atlantic population of humpback whales hovered around 450 individuals and was on its way to extinction. Now, there are around 25,000 humpback whales swimming the waters of the South Atlantic. That’s an increase of over 90%!

This study is just another piece of evidence that our conservation efforts are working. Providing legal protection for wild animals and investing in their continued existence does actually make a difference; we aren’t just throwing money away after a lost cause.

GO WHALES!
