About WDCS
The global voice for the protection of whales, dolphins and their environment.
WDCS - the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society - is
the world's most active charity dedicated to the
conservation and welfare of all whales, dolphins and
porpoises (also known as cetaceans).
The magic of meeting these vulnerable animals in their
natural environment inspires us to make a difference!
WDCS has a dedicated team of staff, interns, volunteers
and supporters in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Germany,
the UK and the US. Across the world, our team is coming
together to create an international community of
passionate protectors for whales and dolphins. Through the
media, events, exhibitions, visitor centers, websites and
more, we spread the word about the need to protect
these incredible sea creatures.
Our Work
Our shared purpose and compassion defends these
remarkable animals against many dangers - whaling,
dolphin hunts, fisheries by-catch, captivity, chemical and
noise pollution, climate change and ship strikes. We bring
individuals and groups together to create strong local,
national and international campaigns to stop these
threats. We defend the animals at risk and the places and
conditions they need to survive – the places they call
home.
We are Grace Drake, an elementary school student who
gave a talk to her classmates explaining the dangers
whales face in our oceans. We are Karolina Jasinska , a
WDCS intern from Poland who used her degree in
economics to help evaluate how whale watching
increases peoples’ concern for the issues whales face. We
are Randy Weir, a young dolphin supporter who held a
sign asking people to care about dolphins. We are
advocates, administrators, artists, computer technicians,
children, interns, mariners, scientists, supporters and
volunteers. We are you - and we are making a difference.
