About WDCS

WDCS, the Whale & Dolphin Conservation Society, is the only global non-government organization dedicated solely to the protection and conservation of whales, dolphins and their environment. 

We aim to reduce, and ultimately eliminate, the continuing threats to whales, dolphins and their habitats and to raise awareness of these wonderful animals and the need to protect them in their natural environment.

We take action to stop the threats that whales and dolphins face, to protect them and the places they live, and to reach out to as many people as possible, connecting with supporters around the world.

Our work combines concern for the welfare of the individual animals with efforts to ensure the protection of entire species, populations and their habitats. We achieve our aims through political campaigning and lobbying, active conservation projects and world-class science, research and educational initiatives.

Established in 1987, WDCS is staffed by over 70 people, along with many more volunteers.  We have offices in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Germany, the UK and the US and a worldwide network of consultants, researchers and supporters.
