29.09.2025 – You can protect

Today we had two different species of marine mammals, Short-finned pilot whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) and Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Both species need our protection. Not off Madeira’s coast, but in other places in the world where they are unfortunately hunted and killed. Today you had beautiful encounters with these marvellous creatures. Are you willing to do something good for them? Then please sign the petitions for the protection of marine mammals. In today’s case: Against Japan/Taiji and against the Faroe Islands.
