These intriguing animals, which capture humans' imagination, are a keystone species. They and other keystone species are indicators of the overall health of Earth's habitats. While whales have made a comeback through an international ban on commercial whaling, they are still threatened with extinction. In fact, two whale species--the Cook Inlet beluga whale and the Southern Resident killer whale--are endangered. Global warming, water and noise pollution, and commercial shipping and fishing are among the most serious threats to whale survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeet the scientists, citizen scientists, researchers, whale watching guides, their crews, and other concerned citizens who are working together to protect whale populations around the globe.
