How Many Whales Does It Take To Save A Species? The Story Of The Rice’s Whale

How many whales does it take to save a species? For the Rice’s whale, the answer may be all of them.

The Southeast is a region alive with motion. In the Everglades—one of America’s most unique and endangered habitats—slow-moving rivers of water wind through cypress swamps. Warm ocean waters sustain the rainforests of the sea, our coral reefs, while critically endangered pine forests provide roosts for threatened and endangered wildlife.
