New #research aims to bring underwater noise’s true impact on killer whales into focus.
Extended periods of time at sea are necessary to collect the data that will bring us closer to understanding – and protecting – killer whales.

Our #cetacean #scientists are preparing for an ambitious 2026 field season aboard Raincoast’s Sailing Vessel Achiever. #RaincoastConservationFoundation has joined forces with #EarthSpeciesProject , a #nonprofit research lab using machine learning to advance our understanding of #AnimalCommunication. At the heart of this project is a deceptively simple idea: to watch and listen at the same time. The team aims to uncover how killer whales use sound to coordinate movements, share prey, and maintain social bonds – to ultimately understand and mitigate how noise pollution interferes with these processes.

En su declaración "Manifesting a New Future For Humanity, Sentient Beings and Nature" (2023), el Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis profundiza en la visión de la consciencia y la economía espiritual, enfatizando que la creación de un futuro justo y sostenible requiere una transformación dual: la transformación interior (a través de la compasión, la atención plena y la sabiduría) y la transformación exterior (mediante la acción colectiva y una sociedad justa). El autor destaca la interconexión de todos los seres, la importancia del karma y la responsabilidad compartida de cuidar el planeta, buscando un despertar espiritual y el equilibrio entre la prosperidad material y espiritual para el bienestar integral de la humanidad y la naturaleza.
