But this is the upsetting reality: Too many of these whale calves are dying before their first birthday. They’re being run over by boats, suffering blunt trauma and agonizing propeller wounds. Just this month, a right whale calf suffered mortal head and face wounds from a vessel strike, likely leaving the calf unable to nurse. That calf is expected to die. Right whales need our help. You could make a powerful difference for these endangered whales by becoming a Wildlife Guardian – your commitment has the power to save lives!

But anti-wildlife members of Congress are trying to delay or prevent regulations to expand vital vessel slow-down zones, and the Biden administration is dragging its feet on protecting these vulnerable whales. We must pull right whales back from the brink of extinction. The most powerful action you can take right now is becoming a Wildlife Guardian. Your support helps us fight back for right whales and all wildlife on Capitol Hill and in the courts.
