Why We Save Whales | Peter Lehner's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC

Why We Save Whales | Peter Lehner's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC: "There are few places on Earth where the waters are warm enough, safe enough, clean, quiet, and abundant enough in food for gray whale mothers to raise their babies. Laguna San Ignacio, off the coast of Baja California, is one such magical spot. For hundreds if not thousands of years, this place, against all odds, has retained its pristine character, its utterly peaceful waters, its bounty of fish. Pregnant whales travel 4,000 miles from the Arctic to reach this haven, where they rest, give birth, and prepare their young for the long journey back home."
