The young man in the photo to the left is Henry Ramage, who has been on a whirlwind tour of multiple US cities to tell people about the plight of the whales.
He’s traveling with his dad, who’s the Global Whale Program Manager for the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). They’re flying in probably one of the coolest planes around, which is IFAW’s Whale Plane. As they go, they’re collecting children’s artwork about whales, and Henry’s giving some amazing speeches telling us why he cares about whales, why we should care about whales, and that it’s very important for children to get involved.
