Petition: Orcas Use Kelp to Groom Each Other – Now Climate Change Is Threatening Their Survival

Orcas have just joined the short list of animals known to practice mutual grooming—a social and health-boosting behavior once thought limited to primates. Researchers observed orcas using kelp as a tool to clean each other of parasites and dead skin, strengthening their social bonds in the process. But now, both orcas and the kelp they rely on are at risk.

Climate change is disrupting marine ecosystems, killing off vital kelp forests and the salmon orcas depend on for food. These highly intelligent animals are facing habitat loss, food shortages, and warming oceans—and they urgently need our help. It’s time the UN held countries accountable to the promises made under the Paris Agreement.

Sign the petition now to demand global climate action and save these incredible animals before it’s too late.
