Whales Show Signs of Recovery After Decades of Hunting

August 4, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

For years, whales were subjected to brutal hunting practices, pushing many species to the brink of extinction. However, since 1986, a global agreement to nearly halt whaling has been largely adhered to, with only a few nations continuing the practice sporadically.

This significant shift has allowed large whale populations to begin recovering. AP News recently reported on a remarkable observation by a South African couple: a "supergroup" of nearly 300 humpback whales. Els Vermeulen, a lead researcher at the University of Pretoria, stated, "In general, the moratorium on whaling can be considered one of the greatest successes in marine conservation."

While not all species have fully recovered, and the conflict in Iran continues to negatively impact marine life, there are undeniably positive signs indicating progress for whale populations.
