Not content with having jumped out of a plane at 10,000 ft to raise money for the ‘Protect Our Dolphins’ campaign last year, WDCS Patron and TV Presenter Miranda Krestovnikoff will be leading the WDCS ‘Team with a Porpoise’ at the Bristol Dragon Boat Race on 25 September.

If you would like to make a donation, please follow the link below to Miranda’s ‘Just Giving’ Page, helping her campaign reach the £5000 target.

If you are interested in volunteering to be in Miranda’s team, please visit the WDCS Dragon Boat Race page, with all the details you’ll need, along with an online registration form.

Thank-you.

Commercial Whaling

The annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) begins on June 21st in Agadir, Morocco, which could result in commercial whaling being resumed for the first time in 24 years. A team from WDCS (Whale & Dolphin Conservation Society) is campaigning at the meeting, attempting to prevent the described ‘deal’ from happening.

Please follow the link to the section of the WDCS website covering the IWC meeting specifically. There is a newly produced video highlighting the proposed whaling resumption, along with the option for sending a direct ‘e-letter’ to protest personally against the plan. WDCS will be reporting daily from the meeting, with regular updates of reports and new video blogs.

Thank-you for your time.
