WDCS - the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society

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).

WDCS works to:
• Prevent suffering in individual whales, dolphins and porpoises, whether in their natural environment or in captivity.
• Stop the deliberate killing of whales and dolphins for commercial and so-called 'scientific' purposes.
• Stop the unnecessary deaths of cetaceans from man-made threats such as pollution or entanglement in fishing nets.
• Prevent the extinction of endangered species and promote the recovery of all cetacean populations.
• Secure adequate protection for - and maintain the health of - all cetacean habitats.
• Promote a worldwide interest in cetaceans.
