Jackie Hildering - North Vancouver Island YNC Leader needs your help!
Project Summary: The Humpback Comeback Project: Help a Community By Protecting Its Threatened Wildlife
Humpback whales, once hunted to the brink of extinction, are starting to make a comeback around Northern Vancouver Island. However, our 7-year volunteer research effort indicates that the threat of entanglement is affecting humpback whales both locally and throughout British Columbia. Help us conduct further research and increase awareness about this threat, to protect the future of these awe-inspiring giants that have become an integral part of the economy, ecology, and culture of our community.
