Less Than 100 Left: Help Save the Rice’s Whale From Extinction
The world’s newest whale species is already almost gone.
In 2021, scientists identified the Gulf of Mexico Rice’s whale, a majestic, 40-foot-long whale that lives only in the Gulf, as a new species. Oil and gas development in the Gulf is primarily responsible for reducing the whale’s population to less than 100 animals. And a recent legal ruling jeopardizes these last few whales by allowing even more drilling in their habitat.
