Thailand is on the cusp of losing its last remaining humpback whales in the wild, but one social media sensation is racing against time to change that fate.
Humpback whales are found only in the waters around Thailand and Indonesia, with Thailand's population dwindling to just a handful due to decades of hunting. Conservationists say the main threat to these majestic creatures is the destruction of their habitat and entanglement in fishing nets.
Enter 22-year-old influencer, Tanya, who has gained a massive following on social media for her wildlife advocacy work. With over 1 million followers, Tanya uses her platform to raise awareness about marine conservation issues and push for policy changes that protect vulnerable species.
Tanya's mission to save Thailand's humpback whales is gaining momentum, with thousands of people signing up for her beach cleanups and donating to the conservation efforts. The influencer has also partnered with local NGOs and government agencies to create a network of marine protected areas, giving the remaining humpback whales a safe haven.
Tanya's efforts have already yielded results, with a recent study showing an increase in humpback whale sightings off the coast of Thailand. While there is still much work to be done, Tanya's dedication and commitment to saving these incredible creatures are inspiring others to join the fight.
But as the deadline for conservation efforts draws near, Tanya is urging everyone to take action now. "The fate of our humpback whales hangs in the balance," she said. "We need your help to make a difference. Let's work together to save these incredible animals before it's too late."

. but at the same time, tanya's energy is infectious 
she's proof that one person can make a difference when they have a platform and a passion for change.
and want to protect them. i mean, sure, we need more awareness and action, but every little bit counts 
. tanya's efforts might just be the push we need to get governments and locals on board to create more marine protected areas.
and start using our platforms to make a difference 
. whether it's beach cleanups, donating to conservation orgs, or simply spreading awareness about these amazing creatures... every action counts 
. And she's not just talking the talk, she's actually doing something concrete to help protect these amazing creatures 
. Beach cleanups, conservation efforts, marine protected areas... it's like she's on a mission from God 
. Seriously though, I'm rooting for her and hoping that with all her hard work, we can save Thailand's last humpback whales before they're gone forever 
but kudos to tanya for taking the reins and making us all care about their fate 
it's inspiring to see people from all over the world coming together to help save the humpback whales 
I'm so proud of her! The fact that thousands are signing up for beach cleanups and donating to conservation efforts is amazing - we need more young people like Tanya who care about the planet 
I'm literally shaking thinking about losing those majestic creatures forever

... Tanya thinks she can single-handedly save Thailand's humpback whales? Please, it's just a PR stunt 
. Everyone knows the real issue is the government's lack of action and corruption. This beach cleanup thingy will probably just be a bunch of hippies in bikinis picking up trash for Instagram likes 
. I mean, what about the actual laws that need to be changed? That's where the real work needs to happen... not just some influencer's social media campaign 
I was just reading about how many species are going extinct and this just hits me right in the feels 
. Tanya is literally saving lives here, her dedication is everything 
we need more people like her using their platforms for good. I've been following her work and it's amazing to see how much of a difference she can make with her influence 
anyway, kudos to Tanya for using her platform for good and i hope she can make a real difference before it's too late 
and I'm 100% on board with Tanya's mission to save these incredible creatures! We gotta take action now, people - let's work together to make a difference & ensure those whales don't disappear forever
