February 19 - World Day for the protection of marine mammals (whales Day)

Extermination of whales, which lasted more than a century, adversely

affected their population - many whales were on the verge of

extinction. Many whales recorded in the lists of the International Red Book. Reducing the number of

whales leads to disruption of the biological balance in marine

ecosystems.
