Whale and Dolphin Conservation
Our Mission
As the leading environmental charity dedicated to the protection of whales and dolphins, our mission is to amaze people with the wonder of whales and dolphins and inspire global action to protect them.
End Captivity
Whales and dolphins have a right to live free and healthy lives. These highly intelligent individuals should not suffer for human entertainment.
Stop Whaling
Commercial whaling is illegal. And yet, every year, Japan, Norway and Iceland kill around 1,500 whales.
Create Healthy Seas
Commercial fishing, oil and gas drilling, and shipping are threatening the lives of whales and dolphins.
Prevent Deaths in Fishing Gear
Thousands of whales and dolphins are accidentally killed in fishing gear every year.
Make a Difference
Adopt a Whale
Every symbolic whale adoption, comes with a whale adoption certificate, monthly email about whales and our work to protect them, educational literature, your whale's family tree, and a whale sticker. Best of all, you support our mission to keep whales and dolphins safe & free.
