Whales and dolphins are icons for the conservation movement. They
are the most conspicuous ambassadors for entire marine ecosystems
and possibly even for the biosphere as a whole. Concurrent with our
realisation of impending threats to their environment is a growing
scientific understanding of the social and cognitive complexity of
many of these species. This book brings together experts in the
relevant diverse fields of cetacean research, to provide
authoritative descriptions of our current knowledge of the complex
behaviour and social organization of whales and dolphins. The
authors consider this new information in the context of how
different human cultures from around the world view cetaceans and
their protection, including attitudes to whaling. They show how new
information on issues such as cetacean intelligence, culture and
the ability to suffer, warrants a significant shift in global
perceptions of this group of animals and how these changes might be
facilitated to improve conservation and welfare approaches.
