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.

Whales and dolphins have a right to live free and healthy lives. These highly intelligent individuals should not suffer for human entertainment.

Commercial whaling is illegal. And yet, every year, Japan, Norway and Iceland kill around 1,500 whales.

Commercial fishing, oil and gas drilling, and shipping are threatening the lives of whales and dolphins.

Thousands of whales and dolphins are accidentally killed in fishing gear every year.
