Harp seals,also known as Phoca groanlandica,spend very less time on land,they are mostly found in North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.they were named as harp seals as at the back of their bodies,there is a harp-shaped marking.Harp seals can live for about thiry-five years.
Today,I will be doing harps seals conservations.
Harp seals are in danger in reducing their populations as hunters hunted them for their beautiful white fur from baby harp seals to make clothes and their seal oil, which is growing in markets.Seal oil are rich in omega 3 fatty acids .
Over-fishing and some climate change are also another threats that could reduce their preys,when their preys are reduced,their populations will ve affected as there is not enough food for them.
Global warming is another cause for the decrease in their populations.The females has less land to give birth when all the iceberg starts to melts causing their babies to drown or get crushed when the ice starts to breaks.
Russia has currently banned hunters from hunting young harp seals.Not only Russia has banned hunting for harp seals,some countries had also banned them from killing harp seals.
