Blue whales are an endangered species. They are endangered due to several reasons such as commercial whaling, which is when whales are hunted for their oil and blubber. Another reason being climate change, which effect's their food sources (krill), and whales becoming entangled in fishing gear, which can not only cause injury but also death.

  How does the endangerment of blue whales impact us as humans? by blue whales being on a steady decline, this impacts the ecosystem as a whole by disrupting food chains. Blue whales controls the population of krill as their predator, so without them, krill populations will increase (in a negative way). This also impacts fishing and food. This can be a huge problem for the people who rely on fishing and marine resources for financial security and food.

 Blue whales should be able to swim freely in their natural homes without the threats humans impose on them, which is incredibly unfair. The earth does not only belong to us, but also the animals that live here on this planet. By signing this petition, you will be helping a cause, a cause that will help protect the blue whales and their habitats, the ocean. If action is not taken now, then the decline of blue whales will continue, and may soon lead to extinction.
