Whales are among the most magnificent, amazing and grandiose People often break fishing laws, but ultimately the whales starve! The released balloons filled with helium fall into the ocean and disrupt the feeding of whales and dolphins, who mistake them for food. therefore think; will you be able to continue to sit back, or you will you save some whales? It's time to act!

Steps

  1. 1 Donate financially to animal welfare societies. Save some money and donate it to charity. Make sure you give like this a lot of as much as possible. Some organizations such as Greenpeace, the Marine Fauna Conservation Society (Sea Shepherd) and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Organization are effectively spending money saving whales. Do not try to spend money on your own to save whales, so you will only waste it. Did you know that the Marine Life Conservation Society uses money so efficiently that it saves hundreds of whales every year! So save your money.
  2. 2 Ask your local whale tour organizations not to sail too close to the whale. Boats can easily scare a whale and make it swim far from the shore, even if there was food near the shore. Research by marine biologists has shown that some whales avoid ship hiding places due to noise pollution and collisions. Did you know that? Well, the next time you go on a whale watching tour, talk to the tour guide first.
  3. 3 Volunteer with local communities, action groups that mark gutters, maintain beaches, and monitor local watershed water quality. Organize your class, school club, or community to clean up rivers, bays, estuaries and beaches.Did you know? Rainwater pollution (city washout) is the leading cause of nationwide water pollution. Pollutants such as engine oil, antifreeze, detergents, trash, paint, pesticides, pet waste, and copper (from brake pads) are washed off streets by rain into spillways that lead directly into rivers, bays and oceans. This can harm so many living things!
  4. 4 Participate in whale protection letter campaigns with your class, club, or church group. Invite your friends to letter-writing parties. A letter to a government official from one person represents the opinion of hundreds of people. Letters are a powerful tool of influence as they highlight the problems of society. Therefore, write a letter, and preferably two!
  5. 5 Cut the plastic rings in 6-bottle packs before recycling or discarding. Thousands of birds, fish and other sea creatures die from being stuck in these rings. This can seriously damage the whale's food source. Plus, whales can swallow this garbage themselves! Did you know that many people skip this step, thinking that it is not important, although it is the most important!
  6. 6 Pick up trash when walking in the neighborhood. Participate in National Coastal Cleanup Day www.coastforyou.org to prevent pollution of watersheds and weirs. Did you know that? One of the most common sources of beach pollution is cigarette butts, which take up to seven years to decompose. Last year, National Coastal Cleanup Day volunteers collected over a million cigarette butts. So the next time you spot debris, pick it up!
  7. 7 Educate their children. Children will grow up and become great helpers in saving whales. If they like whales from a young age, they will protect whales and all marine animals as adults. Did you know that Rescue the Whales has trained over a quarter of a million children?
  8. 8 Clean up rivers. Garbage from rivers will eventually end up in the ocean and pollute the water. The fish cannot breathe in polluted water and eventually drowns. Whale food sources are dwindling, endangering their very existence. Did you know that over the next decade, over a hundred whales will die from lack of food if nothing is done?
  9. 9 Keep your vehicle in good condition to prevent road leaks that pollute waterways. If possible, go on business with friends / neighbors, or ride a bike. Recycle used engine oil - it's free. Take hazardous waste such as paint, pesticides, antifreeze to a designated hazardous waste area. If you see neighbors pouring something into their sewers, tell them they've polluted thousands of gallons of water. Feel the difference!
  10. 10 Never throw fishing rods, nets and hooks into the water. They can catch birds, fish, turtles, dolphins, small whales, seals and otters. Even if the whales survive, their food sources will be significantly reduced.
  11. 11 Never throw anything out on the street, as it will run into rainwater without cleaning and then go straight into rivers, bays and, ultimately, oceans. Did you know that? One quart (1 L) of engine oil can contaminate 250,000 gallons (1,000,000 L) of water. A ten-kopeck drop of motor oil on a sea otter can cause fatal hypothermia. They die freezing from the cold. I bet you didn't know that!
  12. 12 Recycle, reuse and downgrade. Garbage dumps across the country are filled with waste and rejected items. Hazardous waste, thrown into the trash, ends its life in landfills, where it seeps into the ground, polluting the soil water. Reduce the amount of your waste by recycling, reusing, and composting. Plant a pesticide-free organic garden.Remember to share information with your neighbors! Did you know that the Ontario government has banned the use of pesticides to protect the environment?
  13. 13 Buy organic products and support organic farming. See step 11. Pesticides can be extremely hazardous to the environment!

Method 1 of 2: Whaling

  1. 1 Whaling existed thousand years, and if we do nothing, our oceans will soon become lifeless.
  2. 2 Engage the mass media. The more attention you can get, the more people will help you save the whales. Tell them why it is so important to save the whales.
  3. 3 Write letters to the companies behind Japanese whaling. Write letters to the CEOs of Nippon Suisan, Maruha and Kyokuyo, the main seafood producers that operate the current whaling industry in Japan. Ask them to convince the Japanese government to permanently ban the extermination of whales for the sake of unnecessary food.
  4. 4 Register on the website of the International Fund for the Protection of Animals to receive text notifications on your mobile. Be the first to know about whales by joining the International Fund for Animal Welfare's free mobile network. When the International Fund for the Protection of Animals needs your help to save the whales, they will let you know by sending a signal message to act directly to your mobile phone.
  5. 5 Have a whale party at home. Encourage others to join you and become an active participant in the worldwide campaign to end whaling by hosting a What To Do With Whales movie party.
  6. 6 Sign up petition on the termination of whaling. The more signatures our conservation communities collect, the faster the whale population will grow.
  7. 7 Tell others to help protect the whales. It only takes seconds to spread the word about the brutality of whaling and our efforts to end it, but it has a huge impact on the entire campaign. Please invite your friends, family and colleagues to help save the whales.

Method 2 of 2: Ways for Children

  1. 1 Do you have children? If whales are their favorite animals, why not invite them to help save the whales? Below is a complete list of what children can do to help save whales.
  2. 2 Protest against the launch of balloons during school fairs or other events. The balls very often end up in the ocean, where whales and other marine animals confuse them with edible prey and eat them. The balls get stuck inside animals and can kill them. Fourth grade students in Connecticut have forced their legislators to pass a bill making balloon launch illegal in this state!
  3. 3 Turn off lights wherever possible, at school and at home. This will help reduce the risk of an oil spill that kills the food of the whales.
  4. 4 Check lipstick, margarine, and shoe polish for ingredients like "fish oil" or "sea oil" that can be made from whales and other marine animals. This will discourage companies from producing them.
  5. 5 Convince your entire class to join you and write letters to the Japanese Embassy in Russia at 27 Grokholsky Lane, Russia, 129090 Moscow, and ask Japan to leave the whales alone. If they don't answer, explain to the children in Japan why they should stop eating whales. This will help protect the whales.
  6. 6 RECYCLE! Tell your friends, colleagues and classmates to recycle as much waste as possible. This will greatly help save the whales!
  7. 7 Adopt a whale! Visit WWF's website, they have a whale page, and a link for donating money or adopting a whale.

Tips

  • Take plastic bags with you when you go for walks. This way you can pick up all the trash you see. Do not throw away all this rubbish after you've collected it. This is even more harmful to the environment.
  • Always look for the recycling sign at the bottom of any items you intend to discard. If there is such a sign, do not throw away such things in the trash can.
  • Gather in groups with those who also love whales. This may seem insignificant at first, but it works. In this way, more and more people will be able to follow these instructions, and more and more whales will be rescued.
  • If you turn off your lights to reduce oil pollution, know why you are doing this when asked. Not a bad answer: "Bacteria multiply 80 times faster in bright light." Or just tell people why you are doing it.
  • While Step 6 does not seem to be very effective, it is very important. Step 6 can attract more media. And the more media, the more people will help save the whales.
  • Do not try create your own society- it's hard enough. Instead, join or help other communities. It is much easier, compared to editing articles on wikiHow versus writing new ones.

Warnings

  • Never force people to save whales. Just tell them what will happen if they don't (grenade harpoons in the head, explosions, drowning). If you try to manipulate people, they will most likely just leave.
  • Don't follow the Sea Shepherds. Even if they can get away with it, it doesn't mean that you can do it the same way. This is very dangerous and can easily lead to a criminal record. Pete Bethune was fined for piracy when he boarded the Shonan Maru 2 whaling ship.
  • Never insult or write threatening or insulting letters to Japanese people. No matter how far they go, respect must be there. Leave your curses to yourself.
  • Don't go out to protest if your country doesn't hunt whales. There is no point in that, other than involving other people in rescuing the whales. Did you know that in some countries protests can lead you to jail?

What do you need

  • Love for the cetacean family.
  • Money (for donations).
  • Plastic bags (not recommended) for garbage collection.
  • Friends to help.
  • Kind heart (See Warning 2).
