New Book out NOW

On May 14, the new book WIR WALE (“WE WHALES”) by our vice chairman Fabian Ritter will be released. The book tells the story of the world of whales — from their perspective. As mammals who spend their entire lives in the ocean, whales and dolphins are more similar to us than many realize. With this book, Ritter dares to take a perspective shift that brings us closer to these fascinating marine mammals than ever before — supported by the latest scientific findings. Told from the whales’ own point of view, we discover how whales and dolphins perceive their environment, the significance of light and sound, how they communicate, play, love, have sex, and show joy and grief. We learn about their intelligence, how they share knowledge in communities, and even how they develop culture. And finally, how they respond to us humans. Readers embark on a journey into a wonderfully rich world — one that we are threatening, whether intentionally or not. The book also dives into the story of a Greenland whale, from 1799 to today: how it grows up and lives, and what has changed in its world — and ours — over more than 200 years. The book is available in bookstores everywhere. For free shipping when ordering online, we recommend this platform: >> WIR WALE
