国際｜黒海でのイルカ大量死と戦争の影響 / International | Mass Dolphin Deaths in the Black Sea and the Impact of War

Summary

In June, 56 dolphins were washed ashore along the Black Sea coast in Odesa Oblast, southern Ukraine.

The National Nature Park stated that the cause is related to the Russian invasion, citing factors such as mines and missile explosions, low-frequency sounds from warships, and pollution from chemicals. The impact of the war on the ecosystem is severe, and there is a call for action from the international community.

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Log: Hey Chako, did you know that a lot of dolphins are dying in the Black Sea lately? They say it’s because of the war.
Chako: Really? How can that happen? War isn’t a game!
Log: True, it’s not like a game, but the explosions and chemicals from the war are having an impact.
Navi: To add to that, low-frequency sounds from naval ships can also be a source of stress for dolphins.
Chako: I see. The dolphins are suffering too. War is really sad…
Log: Yeah, we mustn’t forget that war doesn’t just affect humans; it also has a negative impact on animals and nature.

Admin’s Note

This article highlights the severe damage that war inflicts on ecosystems. In particular, the mass die-off of dolphins serves as a warning about the state of our living environment. As Chako said, war is not just a game; it is a reality that impacts many lives. With urgent action needed from the international community, I feel that we also need to reflect on this issue.
