The Last Whale - Chris Pash

The Last Whale by Chris Pash is a compelling and deeply researched account of the end of whaling in Australia — and the remarkable story of how public opinion shifted to save the whales from extinction. Pash traces the dramatic final years of the Australian whaling industry, the rise of the conservation movement, and the extraordinary campaigns that changed the way the world thought about these magnificent creatures.

Gripping, well-researched, and ultimately hopeful, The Last Whale is a powerful story about the fight to protect our natural world — and proof that ordinary people can change the course of history.
