35、es were critically endangered In 2018 there were reported to be only around 3000 Antarctic blue whales leftThese sightings by the BAS team, helped by scientists from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, are a positive sign that the population is increasing."In a period of 40 or 50 years,

36、I only had records for two sightings of blue whales around South Georgia Dr. Branch told the reporter. uSo to go from basically nothing to 55 in one year is astonishing.” The cold water around South Georgia lias always been popular with whales because it is crowded with ki'ilL tiny slwiinp-like

37、creatures that are the whales favorite foodThe high count was so unusual that other scientists wondered whether it was a one-off, pei'haps caused by usually high number of kiill temporarily attracting whales from other ai'eas However, Dr. Jennifer Jackson fiom BAS says the quantity of kiill

38、was no difierent from other years ShJs confident the population growth shown in the recordings is real and down to the protection that the whales now have This remains to be seen, but it is liiglily suggested that when the next assessment is released, most likely at the end of 2021, it could show a

42、 Best Way to Protect Blue WlialesD. Blue Whales Set New Trends in ConservationDThe constant rise of global demand for protein poses a threat of meat shortage in the agiicultural sector. To addiess this, a few scientists use artificial meat as an altemati-e to ti'aditional ones, which from the gr

43、owing process to its benefits proves it does no hann or e*en it does good to us.Currently, one of the most advanced teclmiques to gl ow meat in the lab involves taking cells from an animal and changing them to muscle cells The cells are then cultuipd with nutrients and essential vitamins and can be

44、developed to any quantity and then shaped into hamburgers, steaks or niince, and so it is also called "cultured" meat. "Cultured meat is not genetically engineered/5 Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University says"It is meat grown from the same cells that produce the meat in the cow,

46、meat could be lower than those of meat produced in the conventional way/9 said Hamia Tuomisto, a researcher at Oxford University.

47、nly 1% of the land and 4% of the water associated with conventional meat. Tuomistos research also shows that cultured meat could be part of the solution to feeding the worlds growing population, at the same time cutting emissions （#放） and saving both energy and water.Aside from the above benefits, c

48、ultured meat should also provide cheap nutrition. Animal protein is an increasing part of diets, as millions of people in rapidly emerging economies are drawn out of poverty and become able to afford more meat in their di己ts.
