Help These Guys!
Orca Network has started a campaign to promote awareness and conservation of the Southern Resident population of orcas: Orca Month! They are proposing that June be recognized as orca month, and they need your help! If you want to sign their petition, send your signature via email to info@orcanetwork.org
The Southern Residents are an endangered population of orca. Their population is in danger, especially after 5 orcas died this year, including two young mothers and 2 babies! There are only 85 of these genetically distinct whales left. The two whales in the photo are members of the population; the big guy is Skana (L79), an 18 year old male, and the smaller whale is either his mom Spirit, or his younger brother Solstice.
UPDATE: June has officially been declared Orca Awareness Month! :)
