保护海洋巨人(Protecting the Giants of the Sea)
2月的第三个星期日是世界鲸鱼日,旨在强调这些海洋巨人的美丽及其面临的挑战。今年2月16日,我们向座头鲸等雄伟的物种致敬,座头鲸以其优美的歌声和壮观的跳跃而闻名。纪念活动于1980年在夏威夷毛伊岛开始,由太平洋鲸鱼基金会的格雷格·考夫曼领导,以保护座头鲸免受灭绝。目前,它旨在提高人们对污染、气候变化和栖息地丧失等威胁的认识。

The third Sunday in February is World Whale Day, dedicated to highlighting the beauty of these marine giants and the challenges they face. This year, on February 16, we pay tribute to majestic species such as the humpback whale, famous for its melodic songs and spectacular jumps. The commemoration began in 1980 in Maui, Hawaii, led by Greg Kauffman of the Pacific Whale Foundation, to protect humpbacks from extinction. Currently, it seeks to raise awareness about threats such as pollution, climate change and habitat loss.
