Raising Awareness, Inspiring Action
|
The whales and dolphins of the Atlantic Oceans and adjacent seas are under threat as never before- from populations of Blue whales and Right whales on the verge of extinction in the North Atlantic, to Belugas decimated through pollution in the St Lawrence, Vaquita reduced to dozens rather than hundreds through by-catch and river dolphins in Brazil being destroyed by deforestation and pollution. The illegal use of drift nets, by-catch, continued hunting, the devastating impact of plastic pollution on the marine environment and the poisoning of our oceans with toxic chemicals are devastating our environment and nature and bringing many of our cetacean species to the very brink of extinction.
The AWdF, through its operating base in Tenerife, where it has run the volunteer programme on the whale watching boats for some thirty years, provides an opportunity for YOU to ‘Do Something’ and to ‘Make a Difference’. Join the Fight, NOW!
