I would love to see longer documentaries by maya. This isnt the usual person explaining an animal, its a person sharing their passion and actively experiencing it

I love how passionately everyone was talking in this video, Maya included ❤So much love and respect for the animals

Working in conservation can be such a draining and psychologically damaging endeavor, but people like those at WDC and Maya are fighting the good fight regardless. Thanks.

I think one of the things that is so awesome about Maya is that, yes she can be super fun and silly (love it), but when it's time to put the gloves on and discuss animals, conservation, and taking action, she doesn't play around. That shift in tone is super impactful when you are already invested in Maya and you have been following the story of Alveus. Stellar video here!

Great video Maya! Love seeing whales around the coastline of Scotland. Hopefully people can realise how important these amazing creatures are!

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! As a maine resident and who cares deeply for our aquatic wildlife this is amazing. For some reason people in maine just don’t care about this problem at all. The last time we tried to help the right whales there was huge outrage from our lobster fishermen. It’s really sad to see such a beautiful animal go extinct right in front of our eyes. I hope this video really gets out their and really shows people this problem.

You have to think about it from the fisherman’s perspective as well. I think conservation is definitely important, but not a the cost of someone’s livelihood. There should be some middle ground.

@@rosyreverie Conservation will force industries to stop existing due to no longer being needed or permissible for ecological reasons. The real solution would be that having a job or not shouldn't determine your QoL. Conservation is an existential issue for humanity, its not something that can be ignored because it disrupts people's lives. We will have to get used to massively reducing our consumption of resources to only include what is necessary for a high quality of life and also minimize our land use so that ecosystem can be restored. Industries will have to be dismantled or alternatively all industrial activity would need to be planned out and carefully supervised to maximize productivity while minimizing ecological impact.

I think a big part of it is a human failure to understand total cost of ownership, or having too short of a time horizon on personal wants or needs. In a Texas metro area, I get a lot of anti-environmental pushback from people who think this stuff doesn't affect them, that their current quality of life can be sustained in a vacuum. TLDR I leverage a tailored regional portfolio of big red buttons to push, appealing to common surface complaints or concerns based on motivated self-interest, touching on personal identity, saving money, and misguided xenophobia. I use beef and pork as an example. Texans are irrationally attached to barbecue, steaks, and meat in general as part of their pseudo-national identity. This takes on cartoonishly exaggerated proportions with urban and suburban Texans who I think are trying to fake it till they make it, b/c many of them have never even participated in 4-H stuff for learning to work with livestock. "You like steak, right? BBQ ribs? Do you want your beef to get even more expensive than it is now?" And from there, if they're willing to engage, then I can tie in how something like half of all wild-caught fish, or 90% of bycatch, goes into animal feedstock for protein. If this goes away partly or wholly, human industry will have to make up the deficit in order to continue sustaining the same rate of meat production -- and everyone knows those dirty corporations will never do anything for cheap. This leads into more general issues with intensive artificial substitutes. Often I get offhand rebuttals like "If all the bees, trees, or fish die or we run out of fresh water, we'll just use technology to make up the deficiency." My response to that is, "How much more expensive do you want your daily life to be?" due to the technologically, resource, and labor intensive nature of any artificial human replacement for diminished or lost natural ecosystem functionality. Or maybe (and I'm being extremely facetious here) Americans should hire more migrant brown people to hand-pollinate crops at low wages no red-blooded American would be willing to do half the work for. Either do your part to sustain the relatively low cost functions of the natural environment, or else prepare for those dirty brown people to come steal your virgin daughters and the dirty jobs you won't do anyway. This argument rarely comes out, usually only when I'm supremely fed up with someone and I'm just looking for a punching bag rather than actual discourse. :P Hopefully you are a nicer person than me, and you'll be able to identify your own regionally appropriate topics of motivated self-interest for those lobster fishermen or otherwise.

This video is fantastic. Thank you for coming to Massachusetts and bringing attention to the important issues whales face, especially the North Atlantic right whale.

This is extremely important work you're doing Maya, and we are forever grateful Ily

I ran to the comments after seeing your title just to say: VALID!! 🐋 💙 🐋 Thank you for bringing awareness and love to our poor Right Whales. Sweet giant magnificent babies.

Such a great video! Cape Cod is basically my backyard. Thanks SO much for bringing eyes to these AMAZING creatures!

Cinematography and camera work makes it feel like a documentary. Beautiful video and educational. Great work everyone involved.

I love seeing you out here in New England. We have plenty of endangered species out here that could use a platform like yours. Thank you for everything you do and not only the education and attention you bring but the entertainment as well.

Maya just makes me so happy

my boyfriend and I were just in cape cod and saw tons of beautiful whales. Thank you for helping to keep them safe

I love watching Maya being so passionate about all these animals. I am binging her channel and just having a blast. Sending her all my best wishes!

I went to Alaska to visit some family and I used to see humpbacks all the time we went fishing, it was so beautiful.

i've always donated to whale conservation just because i really like them and don't want them to go extinct, but i never knew how keystone they were to the ecosystem! thank you for making this video, because even people who already are donating, like me, still have a lot to learn

great video, maya! educational and entertaining! this is exactly the kind of content that will push conservation forward. lmao and thank you for showcasing the loons even if you were there for whales. they’re one of my favorite waterfowl, they used to scare the daylights out of me with their calls while camping at night up in the adirondacks.

For something that large ships should be able to detect them with technology that automatically ward them away. There must be a sound these whales avoid.

If you're interested in a full length documentary check out Last of the Right Whales. It goes in more detail about these incredible creatures and some of the struggles conservationists face with getting public buy-in for their protection

This isn’t just an entertaining video its also really solid documentary film making. I think if she showed her face during the questions it would make the interviews seem more connected to the vlog sections and make the whole thing feel more personal and approachable

I have been obsessed with right whales ever since i was a child. It's always been so frustrating to keep seeing their numbers decline while theres barely any media coverage of these crestures. I was excited seeing this video in my recommendations and I was even hapier when I realized it actually was about right whales. They're literally my favorite animal and seeing actual and current media on them absolutely made my day

Great video I love conservation and appreciate you spreading important messages about wildlife to this audience!

10/10 video Maya!!! Thank you for sharing this information with us! It's so incredibly important

Maya you must be doing absolutely brilliant to be able to do stuff like this and get these opportunities! Keep working hard because you've been a great inspiration to us all!

So awesome you had the opportunity to work with such an incredible and important organization! Loved the vid, and glad some whales blessed us with their appearance 🐳

This is the EXACT place I went to go Whale Watching (About 12-13 years ago). We saw a couple of these guys and even had a couple of dolphins following behind the boat showing off and doing backflips. They are incredible animals and I feel so incredibly sad to hear their numbers are going down..

absolutely love the new kind of content you're creating, mayo! especially the interviews! I'm so excited to see more

I’m actually getting emotional. This is amazing work you’re doing, Maya.

not sure how realistic this hope is, but i would LOVE more content like this.

Very well made video! Thank you for sharing.

I was so excited for this vid and it did not disappoint!!!!!!

this production is nuts

This video was actually amazing. I love the style, I love the editing, i love the music and I love how much information I learnt about whales. More videos in this style will be goated

One of my favorite memories is being on a MA whale watch and seeing a mom and baby whale jump clean out of the water. absolutely incredible

Beautifully done Maya, camera person, editor, and WDC! ❤🤘

we need to do so much more for oceanic conservation. thank you for bringing this to your platform and to the frogs who follow along :)

I love this video!

You do such amazing work I love this kind of education

I once saw three whales from an airplane window. Never will I forget that moment.

So cool that you came to my hometown. These Right whales are very important to the Cape.

LOVE this interview/ documentary style of video

Maya I hope you see this but you should really reach out and speak to The Whale Museum on Friday Harbor, WA!! The focus on the Southern Resident Orca Population and I’m positive they would love to meet and speak with you!!

i love the vlogs they're always so entertaining . keep it up mayo :)

Seeing people so determined to save these animals along with our planet is so inspiring and brings tears to my eyes.

Hope you will make more videos like these! Loved it

Great video. Thank you for helping amplify the message! ❤

NGL I'd probably cry from being in awe of such a creature, seeing that in person.

Thank you Maya!

My favorite memory of all time was seeing a 76ft Blue Whale and her calf come up right next to the boat. I could look them in the eyes, and it was such a moving experience. Funnily enough I study whale conservation in a research capacity 12 years later

Thank you for spreading awareness!!

Loved the video and the recent tiny mic vid was great too 🐧

Thanks for creating an educational piece on these whales. I loved how much everyone cared about them. I truly hope you get to do more trips like this. We learn so much and can see how much you care about these animals. Thank you!!

I’m only 1:30 into the video but I like that person. Someone who is willing to actually stand for snd work hard for what she believes in. Not all these social media people who all they do is post about what’s wrong in the world but not a single ounce of effort to actually go out and make a difference and make change actually happen

Damn, Maya was in Cape Cod in my backyard, super sick video I was not aware of how endangered this species is

Those whales looked so beautiful. This was eye opening. Thankyou!!

Whales are friends 😁

Thank you for what you do and bringing awareness to things like this.

This is sick content maya! the format is great

I was just in Yarmouth and got to watch 7 or 8 humpbacks hunting with a few minky whales and seals! I’ve been on a few different whale watches and that one was the best 1 by far! SAVE THE WHALES!!!

Great video Maya and Flip! :)

Thank you so much for this video Maya! Great stuff

Awesome video as always , and idk why but whales make me cry.

i went on the same whale watching boat ride when i was in cape cod a few years ago!! we got to see a bunch of whales fortunately, it was a beautiful experience :)

Although I have thalassophobia, I still agree that the whales need to be saved.

No way! i'm from cape cod hyannis and done the whale watching tour when i was a kid. Have our own boat there too and one splashed next to us it was sick

Amazing video maya!

Anyone in the LA area interested in whales should check out Point Vicente in the spring. There's lots of whale sightings and there are volunteers there who count them. They also have a museum :)
