This kind of imprisonment is unacceptable #39canimals #EmptyTheTanks

Hey #39canimals check out my infographic on killer whales in captivity and the suffering they experience

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

This data opened my eyes to the serious problem that is ivory poaching. #39canimals

[Anh Vu @AnhWRI39C]

Elephants are the world’s ecosystem engineers. They modify landscapes, create micro habitats for small animals, and facilitate plant diversity through seed dispersal. Earth would not be an ideal place to live without them. Stop ivory poaching!

The United Nations is looking to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans with a global plastics pollution treaty. Help support this treaty by signing this petition: https://t.co/9ACQI6yiDV #39canimals

The First Institute of Canadian Inventors has developed new technology to collect oil spills from surface water, helping drastically reduce chemical pollution in the oceans. https://t.co/VrHRdGBiwb #39canimals

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

One of the main sources of ocean pollution is surface runoff which dumps dangerous chemicals in the ocean, harming dolphins and other marine life.

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through The Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program helps control surface runoff by implementing regulations on destroying vegetation and building impervious surfaces. https://t.co/hXhAMHJ1TU #39canimals

Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) is a non-profit organization and every little bit of support helps them expand their programs and protect dolphins. Consider donating here: https://t.co/XMAAdAD8CJ #39canimals

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

We need active efforts like those from WDC to protect dolphin life. This was their response to the killing of 100 bottlenose dolphins in the Faroe Islands. #39canimals

[Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) @whalesorg]

We are continuing to put substantial pressure on the Faroese government by briefing MPs, MSPs, MEPs and civil servants on the gruesome hunts, and collaborating with our partners, fish buyers and companies in the UK, EU and USA to build commercial pressure.

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

They are committed to creating pollutant free seas and preventing the hunting of dolphins to create a safe environment. Learn more here: https://t.co/6QAaCOymcB

Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) is one of the leading organizations in the world that is working towards a world where dolphins and whales are protected. #39canimals

According to Sunnie Brenneman, a researcher at the Chicago Zoological Society, chemicals can even make their way to pregnant dolphins and kill their calves before they are even born. https://t.co/eVtT3YYffz #39canimals

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

Larger animals like dolphins that eat small fish and plankton go through a process called bioaccumulation where they ingest all of these chemicals from smaller organisms, resulting in high concentrations of the chemicals in their body. https://t.co/G8tL3YIrwe #39canimals

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

One of the biggest problems that threaten dolphins and other marine life is chemical pollution in the oceans. Scientists call it an "invisible" problem as it is hard to keep track of. https://t.co/gYRtwl6KBd #39canimals

[Aditya Krishnan Radhakrishnan @aditya39c]

ASCOBANS, an agreement made between different governments to conserve marine life, helped form a group to examine noisy human activity and proposed alternate practices for noise management. https://t.co/85BL9SXXzR #39canimals

Dr. Maria Morell, a professor at University of Veterinary Medicine at Hannover, is researching the causes of hearing damage to cetaceans, helping identify the human activities that caused the damage in the first place to reduce noise pollution underwater. #39canimals
