About this listen

 Just a few years ago, the fin whale, the second-largest animal on our planet, reappeared in the fjords of northern B.C.’s Great Bear Sea after being gone for decades. But in the summer of 2025, a new LNG transport facility put this thriving new habitat in danger. In this episode of This Is Wild, we’re learning all about the elusive fin whale, and the tenuous recovery they’re making on Canada’s north Pacific coast. We’ll explore how these giants of the deep are reshaping life in the Great Bear Sea, and why the recent surge of tanker traffic could undercut their comeback. To learn more about fin whales, you can go to www.wwf.ca/thisiswild. If you have any questions or suggestions for the show, you can email us at thisiswild@wwfcanada.org.
