There are 14 subgroups including Blue Whales, Gray Whales, Right Whales and Humpback Whales that are part of the Baleen Whale group.
We’ve lost 95% of them over the past few hundred years, but there are 800,000 – 1,000,000 of them left.
Per this video and this article, the value to us of a Baleen Whale’s poo is approximately $2,000,000 per whale, or $2T in total; as it feeds phytoplankton, which, besides feeding small fish, absorbs CO2 and creates 50% of the oxygen we breathe.
Oxygen is sort of important.
Keeping whales happily pooping should be on all our to-do lists. Not just in our words, but in how we act and run our businesses.
