IMPORTANT:

Life, especially WILDLIFE, is highly ENDANGERED. Due to human pollution, overhunting, overfishing, deforestation, urbanization, and many other human doings many different species are now extinct or nearly extinct. Let's bring awareness to this. SAVE THE LIFE

Our companion ever since ancient times, this unique species is today one of the most threatened animals on the planet. According to The Red Data Book of Threatened Animals of Greece, the Mediterranean monk seal faces an extremely high risk of extinction from its natural environment in the immediate future and is classified as critically endangered. From Homer’s Odyssey and their ancient prime, how did monk seals end up struggling for their survival?

The main threats to monk seals are the depletion of food resources, accidental entrapment during fishing activities, and intentional killing. Like all coastal species, given that they use the shores to rest and nurse their young, seals are also particularly threatened by the degradation of coastal ecosystems due to human activities. Another tangible threat to Mediterranean monk seals related to climate change is the possible sea-level rise, which may cause the loss of thousands of sea caves.

Oil pollution, harassment by recreational vessels, noise pollution, climate change, disturbance, military drills, and the search for hydrocarbons are threats common to all marine mammals.
