On today´s topic, I would like to discuss with you the problems of endangered species not on soil, but on the ocean. Sadly some of the species inhabiting 70 percents of the world´s space are endangered. I will focus on one specific creature on this blog, which is the humpback whale. The humpback whale is one of the largest, if not the largest species roaming the earth on present day, but their size unfortunately won’t save them from the poisonous hands of mankind. It is a magnificent animal and we cannot afford to lose it so our children can be witness of their existence. Like most of other endangered species, the humpback whale is mostly affected by human activity. One reason is the industrial pollution caused by factories, the petroleum ships also cause a big amount of wastes in the water, either affecting the animal the whales eat, or simply affecting them directly. Another problem is when they get tangled in the fishing gear and nets causing serious injury or killing them.
The whales have shown a lot of resilience, since all the things caused by mankind, they are still trying to survive. But it is also our duty to do something about it. Remember, we must start before it is too late, or we will really regret losing this great creature in the world, since it is a sign of strength and happiness for the society. Everyone needs to start acting now!

Hi Diego, is the first time that I read your blog and I love that you are using the blog to make people conscious of the danger that are doing to the animals, and to make them realize that are more important factor to take in consideration in the moment. I promise that I would continue reading your blogs because they look interesting.
ResponderEliminarThe true is that I enter to your blog thanks to the picture, because the title looks a little boring if you are searching in the web for something interesting to read. But I love your topic. Keep it UP!
