More than a century after the peak of commercial whaling, most cetacean populations are still struggling to recover. According to a study published in May 2023 in the journal Conservation Biology, as of 2021, approximately 26% of whale, dolphin, and porpoise species are classified as threatened with extinction. By creating a playful, engaging and interesting way of navigating information about modern cetaceans, this project aims to make information easily accessible and raise awareness about cetaceans, their phylogeny, their current global condition and the various threats they face.
Cetaceans face growing threats, but their survival depends on our awareness and action. By understanding their past and present, we can help shape a future where they continue to thrive in our oceans.
