The Government of Canada announced an extension of #charitable donations for 2024 until the end of February 2025. This means, it’s still possible to #donate to @Raincoast this month and receive a tax receipt for 2024.

Life for southern resident killer whales not getting better: "Action on reducing underwater #noise and vessel disturbance has not been sufficient. Southern resident killer whales continue to encounter harmful levels of underwater noise." #orcas

Ottawa has the authority to implement the necessary actions, namely an emergency order, but has avoided doing so. The longer we wait, the more we lose the potential to reverse the extinction trajectory that is unfolding for #SRKW. #orcas #killerwhales

An [emergency] order would allow enactment of policies such as mandatory ship slowdowns and fishing closures, to make more fish available to the #whales — and provide quieter conditions in which they could hunt, said @Duffling, biologist with @Raincoast.
