She created a digital toolkit to help others learn more, share credible information, and join the call for humane solutions. “The problem of where to rehome these 30 belugas touches on politics, economics, and ecology, among other subjects,” Nora wrote. “While there is no easy fix, my hope is that accumulating signatures on these petitions will at least remind Canada that the world is watching and cares about the fate of these marine mammals.” Her initiative reflects the Williams-Mystic experience, where science, policy, and human values meet to inspire informed, compassionate action for the ocean and the communities connected to it. We're proud to share her advocacy efforts and hope it will inspire others to action. Read the story and access Nora’s toolkit: https://lnkd.in/eqjCcW_p
