PLEASE HELP HVALDIMIR

Hvaldimir is a young male beluga whale who was presumably trained by a Russian research facility before arriving in a Norwegian fjord in April 2019, wearing a harness with a camera mount.

He is a playful, intelligent, sweet and gentle whale. When discovered by local fishermen, he was tugging on a buoy until they helped by removing his tight harness. Now that he has earned his freedom, he has remained a resident of Norway’s fjords. He was nicknamed the ‘Russian Spy Whale’ and has generated enormous public interest in his fate since his arrival.

WHY DOES HE NEED HELP?
Hvaldimir's current living conditions are not sustainable. While Hvaldimir is technically a "free" whale, he is not a wild whale. Because of his prior conditioning, he has chosen to stay near salmon farms and busy seaports, seeking human companionship.

Although he forages and hunts for food on his own, is healthy, and has survived the daily gauntlet of nets and propellers, Hvaldi is not safe. He is habituated to humans and does not have access to a beluga pod or other whales for company. Seeking interaction from humans, he spends his days in busy harbors or near commercial fishing operations, putting him in constant danger. This situation poses not only a risk to Hvaldimir, but also to those who try to interact with him.
