*[Enwl-eng] This shipping company is saving endangered whales - will others follow?

[ENWL]

                        Ships often kill endangered whales — but this company chose to save them instead.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        This Shipping Company Is Protecting Endangered Whales' Lives. More Companies Should Do the Same!

                        The Hellenic Trench in the Mediterranean is a key ecosystem for endangered sperm whales. Fewer than 200 of the majestic creatures are left alive in the area — and more die off all the time, often as a result of being hit by large ships.



                        Research has revealed that upwards of 50% of whales that wind up stranded in the Hellenic Trench area wind up dying because of these ship strikes. Even worse — many whale deaths aren't actually detected by humans. Studies indicate that humans are only aware of 1 out of ever 21 whales struck and killed by ships.


                        That's why it's so important for big shipping companies to agree to change their routes to avoid this precious area and save endangered whales. And, incredibly, some companies are agreeing to do just that! Recently, a large international company called Arcadia ShipManagement put whale conservation first by altering its routes to avoid the Hellenic Trench area entirely!

                        Let's celebrate Arcadia ShipManagement's commitment to protecting endangered wildlife, and ask other companies to do the same! Sign the petition to ask Kechris Christos, the CEO of Aegean Shipping, to also reroute his vessels to keep whales safe in the Hellenic Trench!

                        P.S. Whales are precious, and rapidly disappearing. We can't sit back and wait until they've gone extinct. Shipping companies must change their routes to save whales' lives! Sign the petition.
