Marine Giants: Grey Whales - RT Documentary

It’s World #Whale Day! It aims to raise awareness of the giant marine #animals who nearly became extinct and now need constant protection. These whales swam in the #oceans 40 million years ago, but in the 20th century, humans exterminated almost the entire species. Fishing continued until February 19, 1986. On that day, a moratorium on slaughter was declared and #WorldWhaleDay was established. Learn about people’s efforts to preserve the population of these marine creatures in our video and the film ’No Way Back: The Animal Kingdom’ (2020). #nature@rt__documentary
