Belugas Under Pressure: Climate Change, Noise & Survival

First release in 2020, we are re-releasing our Beluga Whale episode on rewind Monday.

Beluga whales are among the most charismatic mammals of the Arctic — known as the “canaries of the sea” for their rich vocalizations and their striking white color. But populations like the critically endangered Cook Inlet belugas are declining due to climate change, industrial noise, pollution, and habitat disruption.

Chris and Angie explore what makes belugas biologically unique — from their flexible necks to their ability to change facial expression — and why protecting Arctic ecosystems is vital for their future. A powerful reminder that what happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.
