## Resource

North Atlantic right whales are showing hopeful signs with at least 24 new calves born this season — a dramatic jump from recent years’ single-digit totals. After years of decline driven by entanglements and vessel strikes, this surge offers cautious optimism, but scientists stress that the population remains critically low and urgent conservation efforts must continue. New calf sightings are helping researchers map critical habitats and migration routes, reinforcing that while progress is real, the fight for these whales’ survival is far from over.
