It is common knowledge that rampant overfishing (whaling) in the 18th - 20th centuries nearly drove many whale species to extinction. While whaling certainly existed prior to this, technological improvements allowed the industry to become much more efficient in harvesting whales. Now that the global whaling industry has nearly disappeared, whale populations have been able to slowly recover. Conservation efforts and eco-tourism (centered around whale watching cruises or dolphin interaction tours) are working to fund recovery efforts, but is it too late?
New Measures To Protect Whales
The problem of whales' protection has been chasing international marine committees for decades, as it is not only about environmental value, but effective navigation, oil spills and ocean-based industry in total. However, an implementation of some protective tools occurs rarely, as fast as mankind clashes with new ecological issues. The so-called whale wars, initiated by whales' rights protestors, encourage politicians, statesmen and people to improve the situation. One of the recent developments is associated with giving up on some navigation routes in the California region.
Wildlife - 5 Ways You Can Help Preserve Endangered Wildlife Animals
The list of Endangered Wildlife and Animals is getting large each year. One conservative estimate has placed almost f
orty percent of all the species in the verge of having the ecological extinction. Not only the traditional wetlands are being
taken away to find new place to create plantations but also the cities are growing at phenomenal rate too. The effected
plant and animal life in the midst of all this is quite large, you can find the animals like polar bears, pandas and even
Indian tigers in this list that were proud heritage once. Here are some ideas being threshed out to save most if not all of
our endangered wildlife and animals for future.
How We Can Help Animals of the Wildlife During Winter
It's summer, and the wildlife is surely doing just fine this time of the year. But it's a totally different story during winter.
Winter can be a difficult time for wildlife. The food supply of many animals disappears completely or is buried by snow.
Animals survive winter in different ways. Some species migrate to warmer climes; others hibernate. But for those
animals that struggle through it, winter can be a cold, miserable time, and many of them die unnecessarily.
The widespread destruction of hedges and woodland, the drainage of ponds and marshes, and the clearing of land in
the country have altered animals' habitats, causing many of them to depend on backyards for food and shelter,
especially in winter. Rather than rely on preservation groups to help the animals, there are simple things that everyone
can do that will enable animals to survive winter. To be specific, there are two basic things we can provide to these
animals during the harsh winter time: food and shelter.
How to Help Endangered Animals
When it comes to endangered animals it is a very difficult subject to speak about because of how sad the situation is.
Once animals are extinct they don't come back.
It is a very sad state of affairs when you think about endangered animals. Not only is there killing of individual animals
but the entire species is wiped out and that is tragic.
Good Ways to Help Animals
animals can't always take care themselves. These tips will help you find ways to help any creatures you come across to
get the care that they need and deserve.

Spend some time volunteering at an animal shelter. A wonderful way to assist animals is volunteering at the animal
shelter. These shelters usually rely on the generosity of donors and volunteers to make ends meet. It is possible to
make a donation of your time by feeding, cleaning or exercising an animal. Or you can donate some money to aid the
shelter in taking care of the hundreds of animals each year.
Do Animals Grieve?
Do you believe animals have feelings? How do you observe them expressing their emotions? Can you interpret what
they are feeling? Of course, I want my companions to have feelings that I can understand and relate to. I believe that
animals are capable of a range of emotions, such as happiness, sadness, empathy, grief, curiosity, anger, anxiety and
fear.
