     Dear James,
     
     I like the title of your project.  Actually, I seem to remember a 
     title of an article or two like this.
     
     There are probably a bunch of reasons why we should care about whales. 
      I think we should care, because they are an important part of the 
     earth's ecosystem, and are needed to keep it in balance.  Whales are 
     somewhat luckier than some other animals (like alligators) that people 
     might not have lots of empathy for.  Whales are good because we can 
     use them to make people care about other animals and the ecosystems in 
     general.  We should worry about whales because the things that impact 
     them are quite often the same things that impact us (e.g., pollution). 
      Whales are also important for our soul in a respect.  They are quite 
     often represented in art and literature and obviously mean a lot to 
     culture, whether they are being hunted and killed as well, or not.
     
     As far as additional folks to contact, I will on the side send you a 
     few email addresses of folks you might contact who might be able to 
     help you out.
     
     Good luck!
