How Can YOU Help Whales?
Gray Whales (and many other Great Whales) were almost wiped off the Earth by whaling between the 1800s and the mid-1900s. Then whaling stopped, thanks to people's conservation efforts and new substitutions for whale oil and whale bone. Gray Whales recovered enough to be taken off the endangered species list in 1994. Mrs. Black and her second graders at Rama Public School in Ontario, Canada wanted to help whales too. Here's what they said:
