Bryde’s whales in Aotearoa are threatened (nationally critical) — our country’s highest threat level.
Scientists estimate there are only 135 left. And there's no wonder why.
Below the Gulf’s sparkling blue surface is an ecosystem on the brink of collapse.
We’ve taken so many of their fish that Bryde's whales are now eating mostly zooplankton, which contain lots of dangerous microplastics.
Our cities and farms dump huge amounts of sediment and sewage into waterways, suffocating the seabed and polluting their waters.
Our ships kill them and drown out their calls.
But you can help save our forgotten whales.
Urgent action is needed to help restore the Bryde's whales' home, regenerate fish stocks and protect them from threats.
