Why adopt a whale
As a WDCS humpback adopter, you’re not just helping your humpback, you’re helping us to protect whales and dolphins all over the world.
With your support, 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 whales and dolphins falling victim to man-made threats such as pollution or entanglement in fishing nets.
- Prevent the extinction of endangered species and promote the recovery of all whale and dolphin populations.
- Secure adequate protection for - and maintain the health of - all whale and dolphin habitats.
- Promote a worldwide interest in whales and dolphins.
