Of course, slavering commercial types will immediately want to start harvesting them and delisting them from protected status, but we must remember that ocean habitats and ecosystems are on the brink of collapse. That means that we we may need many whales around in case true ecosystem collapse happens, taking away or greatly reducing the food that whales need to eat to survive. If that happens, many may die. So, an abundance may be a valid insurance policy for whale .
