What Feces Can Tell Us About the Health of the Endangered Southern Resident Killer Whales - Livestream

The Southern Resident killer whales are one of the most studied and well-known endangered species on the planet, yet efforts to save them have been largely unsuccessful. How can research be translated into meaningful policy or action to guide their recovery to reverse the declining trend in the population? In the acclaimed PBS 2022 documentary, The Lost Salmon, Dr. Deboarah (“Giles”) Giles, Research Director for Wild Orca, underscored the correlation between the health of the salmon population and the Southern Resident killer whale population.

In this talk, Dr. Giles will bring new dimensions and understanding to both the plight of this celebrated, endangered group of cetaceans and the way forward to their recovery. In the Q&A session following her presentation, she will be joined by “The Lost Salmon” filmmaker, Shane Anderson.
