  • Humpback whales, enjoy the warm waters of Tonga, Pacific Ocean. Every year humpback whales migrate north from the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean to give birth and breed in the sheltered waters of the Pacific ocean. Like other large whales, the humpback was a target for the whaling industry. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, its population fell by an estimated 90% before a 1966 moratorium. While stocks have partially recovered to some 80,000 animals worldwide, entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships and noise pollution continue to impact on the species.

  • Humpback whales, enjoy the warm waters of Tonga, Pacific Ocean. Every year humpback whales migrate north from the frigid waters of the Southern Ocean to give birth and breed in the sheltered waters of the Pacific ocean. Like other large whales, the humpback was a target for the whaling industry. Once hunted to the brink of extinction, its population fell by an estimated 90% before a 1966 moratorium. While stocks have partially recovered to some 80,000 animals worldwide, entanglement in fishing gear, collisions with ships and noise pollution continue to impact on the species.

  • A shark is pulled from the depths on the Taiwanese longliner, Li Chyun No. 2 in the Central Pacific, 21st September 2011. About 73 million sharks are killed every year, and the appetite for their fins in places such as Hong Kong and Taiwan has taken one in three shark species to the brink of extinction according to the PEW Environmental Group. Photo: Paul Hilton/ Greenpeace Over 100 million sharks are killed each year for the fin trade. Hong Kong, Singapore and China are the biggest consumers of shark fin globally. Indonesia is the biggest exported of shark fins annually. Photo: Paul Hilton for Earth Tree Images
