Whale and Dolphin Conservation (US)

Because whales and dolphins play a critical ecological role, our mission is to ensure whale and dolphin populations survive and thrive as key contributors to the health of our shared planet. Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. Our vision of a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free is not a noble gesture, but a necessary goal for a healthy planet on which humans and wildlife can survive and thrive. We defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue.
