WDCS’s work spans the globe. Through our research, educational and conservation programmes we are working to learn more about these mysterious mammals, to reduce the serious threats that they face – including habitat loss, entanglement in nets, deliberate killing and pollution – and to create protected areas in which they are able to raise their families, find food, rest and play in safety.Few of the areas upon which whales and dolphins depend for their day-to-day survival are protected. Preserving these critical habitats is crucial to the survival of the 86 species of whales, dolphins and porpoises. That’s why WDCS is calling for the creation of twelve new marine protected areas and protected area networks by 2012, to give them the shelter and protection they so urgently need.
These safe havens would protect vital habitat for vulnerable and endangered cetacean populations in all the oceans of the world, from the mangrove forests favoured by tropical dolphins in the Bay of Bengal, to the big whale feeding grounds in Antarctica’s Ross Sea.
