A very powerful chronicle of the St. Lawrence River Beluga whales which were hunted to near extinction until given legal protection in 1979, and are now quite literally dying from pollution. Beland (senior research scientist, St. Lawrence National institute of Ecotoxicology) describes the Beluga history, how they live now, the pollution threats to them, and ways in which this kind of tragedy can be prevented in the future, although it looks like it's too late for the Beluga; thus the volume also serves as their elegy. Includes color photographs. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Table of Contents Introduction What is a beluga whale? How do beluga whales act? Where did beluga whales come from? The history of beluga whales and humans Beluga whales and conservation Beluga whales and culture Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The beluga whale, also known as the white whale, is a favorite of many people. It’s intelligent and cute, not unlike a larger dolphin. What really draws a lot of people is its pure white color, which is attractive and attention-getting to humans in the same way a black jaguar or a pink slug is. As a sea creature, the beluga whale is an important part of its environment, and has had an impact on humans. Or, more accurately, humans have had an impact on the beluga whale. Much like puffins, the beluga whale helped humans live in areas that are hard to live in. This wasn’t done without a cost to the beluga whale, however, as you shall soon see.
