Happy 100th birthday to the voice of nature, Sir David Attenborough — whose work has helped generations discover and learn about the amazing natural world around us.   His work reminds us how humans, animals, and ecosystems are connected, and we all have a duty to protect it. theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

Mexico has officially banned dolphin shows and is beginning the process of releasing captive dolphins back into more natural environments. Many will be relocated to ocean sanctuaries and protected coastal areas—giving them a safer, more natural life beyond confinement. A significant step toward better welfare for marine life 🌊🐬

One of the most fascinating facts about the ocean, is that there are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written. Some of the bowhead whales in the icy waters off of Alaska today are over 200 years old.

Canada is officially phasing out the era of captive whales, dolphins, and porpoises for entertainment purposes. The Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act (Bill S-203) marked a fundamental advancement in marine mammal welfare. By amending the Criminal Code and Fisheries Act, the legislation prohibits: - Capturing cetaceans from the wild. - Breeding them in captivity. - Keeping them for public display or entertainment. Exceptions are allowed for rehabilitation, scientific research (under strict licensing), or cases where release is not feasible. A grandfather clause permits facilities to retain animals already in captivity at the time of enactment—ensuring these are the final generation held in tanks for such purposes. It also bans the trade of reproductive materials, closing potential loopholes for sustaining the industry. Beyond the immediate ban, the law prohibits the trade of reproductive materials, closing loopholes that could sustain the industry. The focus has now shifted toward compassionate retirement, with major initiatives underway to relocate the remaining captive whales to natural coastal sanctuaries in provinces like Nova Scotia by 2026. These efforts, supported by animal rights advocates and scientists, aim to provide a more natural environment for these sentient beings while allowing for essential research and rehabilitation under strict licensing.

On #EarthDay, I’m inspired by the Indigenous concept of "All Our Relations": all life is interconnected and interdependent. We must be responsible stewards and protect the miracle of nature. 🌎🌳🦬🐺🐢🐟🦅 #SenCA
UN Environment Programme@UNEP

Our planet is sending us a clear signal. From climate change to deforestation and land-use change, the pressures on our planet are growing. On #EarthDay and every day, the world must accelerate its shift to a sustainable economy, one that works for both people and the planet.

Once hunted to near extinction, humpback whales are rebounding. "We've stopped killing them," said wildlife photographer Chris Fallows. "Since the late 1960s, the population that was reduced to just a couple of thousand animals has come back to several hundred thousand animals." Fallows said the whales give him hope. cbsn.ws/4tJNcit
