Endangered Pieces are puzzles where each piece represents one animal left in the wild.

The Southern Resident killer whale puzzle has 73 pieces.

With only 73 Southern Resident killer whales remaining in the wild, the future is increasingly uncertain for these awe-inspiring icons of the Pacific coast. As shipping intensifies and the ocean gets noisier, it’s becoming harder for the whales, also known as orcas, to use echolocation to find prey. At the same time their main food source, Chinook salmon, is less plentiful than it once was. Without enough food, fewer calves are born and they are less likely to survive. When you take home this unique puzzle, you are helping to support critical conservation work that helps safeguard animals like the Southern Resident killer whale.

Help build a future where puzzles like these become harder to do.
