The
Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) is the
world's most active charity (Registered No. 1014705) dedicated
to the conservation and welfare of all whales, dolphins and
porpoises (also known as cetaceans).
Established in 1987, WDCS is staffed by a small, dedicated team
of people determined to do their best for the animals and proud
of the fact that WDCS's operating costs are kept to a minimum.
The money raised is spent on urgent conservation, research and
education projects that really do make a difference to the daily
lives and long-term security of thousands of whales, dolphins
and porpoises around the world. |
