How Tech Can Save Right Whales

With fewer than 360 North Atlantic right whales remaining in the wild, these incredible marine giants are critically endangered. In this episode, Orla O'Brien, a marine biologist with the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium, discusses this urgent wildlife crisis and the challenges facing this species. O’Brien explains why right whales are often overlooked — an "out of sight, out of mind" issue — and how innovative technology plays a crucial role in protecting them, offering hope for their future. Bonus Track: Jeff Baughman of the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo talks about a much smaller animal, but still one of North America’s most endangered amphibians – the Wyoming toad.
