Whale Watching Gone Wild

Whale tourism in Timor-Leste is getting out of hand—think tourists diving on whales and boats crowding pods, even hitting them! Experts say this chaos is stressing out the whales, messing with their migration and mating, and could put the whole species at risk. Plus, the lack of rules is hurting the local economy. If we want to keep seeing these gentle giants, everyone—tourists and companies—needs to chill out and give whales their space! #Science #WhaleWatching #EcoTourism
