Salt is a mother of 16, grandmother of 18 and great-grandmother of four. During the hot summer months, she enjoys her life in the Gulf of Maine, in the United States. She spends the winter in the stunning Caribbean. Both Salt and her daughter Sanchal have returned from their winter holiday, in the Caribbean, with a newborn baby! Most humpback whales are not named until they are a couple of years old. The only exception is Salt&#039;s babies. These are named after spices or variations of salt, and baby No. 16 is no exception: she was named after the Japanese spice paste &quot;miso&quot;.

Humans have brought many whale species to the brink of extinction through industrial whaling, especially from the 19th century onwards. In a unique step in the history of species protection, the whaling moratorium came into force in 1986, banning commercial whaling.

Only if the local population has sufficient expertise can they sustainably protect Africa&#039;s unique nature and wildlife. This is exactly the knowledge that students acquire in the courses and campaigns offered by the Southern African Wildlife College in Kruger National Park. For example, on topics such as poaching, managing wildlife conflicts and natural resource management.The demand is great. More and more young Africans want to learn about these important issues and get involved. Many, however, lack the money for education. In order to make it possible for them, external support is needed. This is what Friends of African Wildlife is committed to!

The non-profit organization 'Friends of African Wildlife' was founded in 2013 and is based in Zurich. Its primary goal is to provide aid for self-help in Southern Africa.

Protecting the oceans is particularly important to Robert. That&#039;s why he and Mission Erde e.V. are particularly concerned with ridding the oceans of so-called ghost nets, which otherwise become terrible death traps for many animals. A particularly dangerous, time-consuming and expensive undertaking. Robert regularly tries to salvage as many nets as possible. You can see how this works in 7 Days of Ghost Net Hunting: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcSn7puHGuE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcSn7puHGuE</a>

The mission of Mission Earth is to preserve the unique biodiversity on our planet, to actively protect habitats, and to inspire as many people as possible to appreciate the beauty of nature. This results in the will to preserve it.
