新斯科舍省鲸鱼保护区项目寻求在2025年夏季之前追加1 300万至1 500万美元的资金,以完成Wine Harbour附近40公顷水下封闭物的建造工作,目标是在2026年夏季之前开工。 The Whale Sanctuary Project in Nova Scotia seeks $13 million to $15 million in additional funding by summer 2025 to complete construction of a 40-hectare underwater enclosure near Wine Harbour, aiming to open by summer 2026. 该项目在83公顷皇家土地上租约20年,计划将两个被俘的虎鲸Wikie和Keijo从封闭的法国主题公园迁走。 The project, which has a 20-year lease on 83 hectares of Crown land, plans to relocate two captive killer whales, Wikie and Keijo, from a closed French theme park. 法国官员支持这项移交,称这是两国禁止鲸目动物被囚禁的最合乎道德的解决办法,尽管没有关于转移被俘动物的正式准则。 French officials support the transfer, calling it the most ethical solution amid bans on cetacean captivity in both countries, though no formal guidelines exist for transitioning captive animals. 该保护区将提供终生护理、兽医支助和自然环境,到2025年夏季完成建筑工程,让鲸鱼有时间在冬季前适应。 The sanctuary will provide lifelong care, veterinary support, and a natural environment, with construction required to finish by summer 2025 to allow time for the whales to adapt before winter.
