The narwhal is a unique Arctic whale species known for its long spiral tusk.The estimated remaining population is around 75,000 individuals. The main threats to the narwhal include climate change, habitat disturbance, and hunting. As sea ice diminishes, it affects their ability to navigate and find food. Additionally, increased shipping and industrial activities in their habitat pose risks of noise pollution and potential collisions.
