There are only around 70 Southern Resident Killer Whales remaining in the wild and they’re looking directly at extinction if things don’t change now. Southern Resident Orcas are emotionally intelligent and they have complex family dynamics. They also have a deep spiritual connection to the tribes and first nations who’ve been in the Salish Sea since time immemorial. Over the next six weeks, we’ll dive into those issues and more, with some brilliant guests joining us along the way. Click subscribe and spread the word!
