Whale and Dolphin Conservation
WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation (formerly WDCS) is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. They defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue. Their vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free. WDC is a recognised partner of the Convention on Migratory Species, which is part of the United Nations Environment Program. WDC supports and leads ground-breaking scientific research, funding whale and dolphin conservation field projects around the world. WDC’s core belief is that all whales and dolphins have the right to exist as nature intends, not as humans decide. To be able to live free from hunting, captivity, entanglement in fishing gear and nets, and to swim in clean, noise-free waters where boats won’t injure them.
