In this three-part series, Monika, Jeff, and Sara have an in-depth conversation about the endangered status of the Southern Resident orcas, posing some difficult but necessary questions to help understand the reality of what it will take biologically, politically, and emotionally, to give these whales a real shot at a better future.
‍
Part 1 goes back to look at how the Southern Resident population initially declined.
Part 2 looks at the actions taken since their endangered listing including what has worked and what hasn't.
Part 3 explores some of the big issues we need to address going forward if we want the whales to recover.
