“Merry Christmas!
WDC Christmas gifting is here. Surprise someone with the meaningful gift of an adoption or gift donation, or explore our shop for cosy winter essentials and lots more.
Under attack
Iceland’s last remaining whaling company has applied for a licence to kill fin whales indefinitely and sections of the press are spreading lies that we need to kill whales because they eat all 'our' fish! Learn the truth and how to help below.
End captivity
If you’ve been following our Don't Go To The Show campaign, you’ll know about 3,700 whales and dolphins are held in tanks worldwide. Will you donate to expose the truth behind this cruelty and end captivity forever?
Toxic orca
Three-year-old orca Elida was found dead in the waters around Norway and her body was contaminated with 10 times the amount of toxins that would normally be considered harmful.
Deadly deception
New research suggests toothed whales, like sperm whales, who hunt in the deep sea using echolocation may be eating plastic by mistake due to misleading ‘sounds’, not because of visual errors.
Jingle Jam 2024
Are you a streamer, gamer, or content creator? Join us this December for Jingle Jam and help fund two projects: protecting endangered Amazon River dolphins and launching a global education programme for kids.
Growing concern
In 2023, 4,735 crimes against wildlife were reported in the UK. What’s worrying is that convictions for these incidents were shockingly low, highlighting the need for stronger protections.
Good news
Thanks to your support, our efforts to protect right whales from vessel strikes and fishing gear entanglements are working. The latest data shows a population increase from approximately 356 to 370 individuals in just one year!
Amazing encounter
Did you know the bottlenose dolphins, orcas, and humpback whales in our adoption program actually exist in the wild? Don’t miss Kirstin Stocker’s story about her magical encounter with her adopted orca, Holly!
