According to a recent study, the southern resident orcas risk of extinction is accelerating.

Researchers have raised the alarm and we are going to share why.

According to the co-founder and scientist at the research nonprofit Oceans Initiative, there is a generation or two where the decline in population fluctuates but then rapidly accelerates to a faster rate of decline.

Thus the population is chasing extinction.

The researchers say the data is clear.

There isn’t a lack of information out there.

So why is the population still declining if we know this?

There clearly isn’t enough action!

The laws are too outdated some say.

The Endangered Species Act turns fifty this year.

It is very surprising to me that one of the most intelligent animals in all the oceans and not to mention its top predator heading towards extinction.
