To prevent extinction, the International Whaling Commission introduced a ban on commercial humpback whaling in 1966.
humpback whales are endangered because of commercial whaling and drift net fishing. these are the only know factors contributing to the decline of humpback whales all over the world.
Belugas, blue whales, humpback whales....most of them, in fact.
There are 3 types of whaling that are currently happening. The first of these is commercial whaling conducted either under objection or reservation to the moratorium. The second, called aboriginal subsistence whaling is to support the needs of indigenous peoples. The third type is whaling under special permit to kill, take and treat whales for scientific research. Under current IWC regulations, aboriginal subsistence whaling is permitted for: Denmark (Greenland, fin, bowhead, humpback and minke whales), The Russian Federation (Siberia, gray and bowhead whales), St Vincent and the Grenadines (Bequia, humpback whales) The USA (Alaska, bowhead whales; Washington State, gray whales).

Over whaling by humans
In 1900, the population of humpback whales was significantly reduced due to extensive whaling practices, with estimates suggesting that only a few thousand individuals remained. Prior to the whaling era, their numbers were likely in the hundreds of thousands. Conservation efforts and whaling bans in the latter half of the 20th century have since allowed populations to recover, but precise historical figures from that time are difficult to ascertain.
Humpback whales are called Humpbacks for short.
yes because their their the same
Since whales are killed in whaling, I'd Think it'd be pretty obvious that whales are affected by whaling.
Answer updated November 9th, 2011:The IUCN has the Humpback whale listed as "Least Concern".However(!) They HAVE been protected by decree of the International Whaling Commission since 1966.
we could join a group like green peace or something. we could stop the Japanese from whaling . but besides that there is nothing we can do.
