protect the narwhal’s icy home
Narwhals are animals of myths and legends. But the threats they face are very real. Their long spiral tusks were once believed to have magical properties, earning them the nickname “unicorns of the sea.”
Living in remote and inaccessible parts of the high Arctic, no other ice whale is as sensitive to the effects of climate change. As the Arctic warms at an unprecedented rate, narwhals will be confronted with changes to their migratory routes, new predators and noise pollution from shipping and development.
WWF-Canada is leading the charge to better understand this elusive whale. Your donation will help us identify critical narwhal habitat and learn more about narwhals’ migration patterns, so we can take action to ensure their survival.
