How a Song Saved a Species

Director: Remi Cans

By the 1960’s, commercial whale hunting had caused the global whale population to plummet to 10% of its 19th century level. Roger Payne and his team’s research discovered that whales are intelligent animalsthat play a crucial role in maintaining the ocean’s health. Their recording, Songs of the Humpback Whale, contributed to creation of a global movement that led to a moratorium on industrial whaling.
