Hello everyone! 

I feel so lucky to have been given a charity place from Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC). My undergraduate degree was in conservation, so this is a cause very close to my heart.  

Climate change, ocean pollution, naval activity and careless fishing practices present a huge threat for whale and dolphin populations. These beautiful creatures are also found in captivity for “entertainment purposes”, when they should be able to live freely in the wild and display natural behaviours. 

Not only are whales and dolphins incredibly sociable, sapient and sentient beings but they play integral roles in maintaining the health of our oceans.  

WDC is the leading charity dedicated to the protection of whales and dolphins. The charity has four main goals: 

• Stop whaling 
• End captivity 
• Create healthy seas 
• Prevent deaths in nets 

From helping to spur legislative changes, to persuading large-chain supermarkets and tourist organisations to reconsider their impact towards whale and dolphin species, to conducting world-leading research and helping establish marine protected areas…WDC has achieved so much. You can learn more about their work here: https://uk.whales.org/about/our-achievements/

By donating and helping me fundraise for WDC, you will truly be contributing towards a great cause. 

If you cannot donate, feel free to share this fundraising page instead, as it really can make such a difference! 

Thank you so so so much in advance!
