"More than 350 scientists and conservationists from 40 countries have
signed a letter calling for global action to protect whales, dolphins
and porpoises from extinction.

They say more than half of all species are of conservation concern, with
two on the "knife-edge" of extinction.

Lack of action over polluted and over-exploited seas means that many
will be declared extinct within our lifetimes, the letter says.

Even large iconic whales are not safe."
