During its lifetime a Grey whale in the east Pacific swims the distance from the Earth to the moon and back while it migrates between its tropical breeding grounds and feeding grounds in the arctic. Many cetacean species are highly migratory facing a wide range of threats during their annual globetrotting.

In celebration of its 25th Anniversary the Bonn Convention together with WDCS, the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society, the Agreement on the Conservation of Small Cetaceans of the Baltic and North Seas (ASCOBANS) and the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area (ACCOBAMS) have now released the publication CONSERVING CETACEANS, providing information on regional issues, the status of various cetacean species, and the important efforts of the Convention, its Regional Agreements and WDCS to protect the world’s migrating cetaceans.
