Humpback whale

Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface, so it's no surprise they play a crucial role in our planet's climate and ecosystem. These gargantuan seas support a vast ecosystem of marine life, including the beautiful humpback whale. The humpback whale once was known for its 'singing', which research attributed to possibly being a sign of loneliness. The good news is that as the whale population has risen with the end of commercial whaling, there is less need for whales to sing a song of loneliness. But, while whales may no longer be lonely, their aquatic environment is still at risk from climate change and human actions. We must contemplate how our actions can have a negative impact on them and take corrective measures.
