In an article published on the MercoPress website, Caroline Weir , a cetacean expert working with the scientific research group in the British colony of our usurped Malvina Islands, attempts to explain the supposed success in recovering the population of fin whales and southern right whales in a sector they call the " Key Biodiversity Area of coastal zones."
The information is not without irony, given that English ships spearheaded the slaughter of whales from the 17th century until well into the 20th century; it's no wonder they are now the same ones proposing their conservation and care. Even more so when, in the same waters where whales live, the British themselves, along with the Spanish, Taiwanese, and South Koreans, are ravaging the fish resources of the South Atlantic.
Weir says the selection of the Malvina Islands “as one such winter aggregation site is truly special,” although he acknowledges that for the number of animals to increase in winter, the cetacean population must “recover to pre-whaling abundance levels.”
“Pressures on the marine environment are increasing globally ,” Weir concludes, noting that the same people who exploited the letters of marque since Elizabethan times, such as Francis Drake , now aim to become conservationists at the same time that companies such as Rockhopper Exploration and Navitas Petroleum plan to begin hydrocarbon exploitation north of the Malvina Islands this year.
