What can I do to actually help Lolita the killer whale?

What are the factors that influence the longevity of a killer whale ( Orca )?

• Im doing this science project about the killer whale and we're supposed to find out the factors that help it live longer. PLEEEASE HELP :(

• Answer:

  Till now nobody found the precise reason why Orcas have a high calf mortality rate in some areas of the world, or if their life span is really 50-70 or 80-90 years or 35 years only.
