STOP threats for good

Driven from safety, hunted, tortured, killed, captured, blasted by noise and poisoned by man's carelessness and deliberate cruelty- whales and dolphins face more threats than ever before.

We campaign for an end to these threats, including whaling, fisheries bycatch, captivity and environmental impacts such as pollution and climate change.

Our team of experts tackle the complex and highly political threats facing whales and dolphins on all levels.

• Globally - through international conventions and agreements and by influencing and advising the world's decision makers.
• Nationally - through governments and coordination with other NGOs.
• And locally - through research, conservation work and liaison with stakeholders.
