WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading

global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of

whales and dolphins.

We defend these remarkable creatures against the many

threats that they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising

governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue.

Our vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is

safe and free —including the dolphin you adopt.

Meet the dolphins

The dolphins each have their own personalities — on the

dolphin you'd like to adopt.

The dolphins of Scotland's Moray Firth are amazing but

they face many threats. When you adopt a dolphin you will

build a special link with an individual and help us to protect the

whole population and give them a safer future.

Kesslet

Kesslet is a young mum who likes to hunt and play with

her calf, Charlie. Kesslet is easy to spot because of her curved

dorsal fin. She is friends with lots of the local dolphins and can

be often seen travelling in groups of mums and youngsters.

Mischief

Mischief is a very friendly male dolphin who is always in

party mood! He is often seen in big groups leaping around with

friends such as Sundance. Mischief is also a powerful hunter

who can outrun even the biggest salmon. He is easily recognised

by the big nick（缺口）in his dorsal fin.

Sundance

Sundance was first spotted in 1990 when he was a tiny calf

and now he's a big adult male bottlenose dolphin. Sundance is

really sociable and he just loves to leap around with friends.

Why adopt a dolphin?

“I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with

WDC. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus,

you get to know an individual dolphin!”says Miranda

Krestovinikoff,BBC TV Presenter.

Oil and gas exploration and production， large marina（码头）development，pollution, fisheries and more are increasingly

putting pressure on the dolphins and their home. By adopting a

dolphin, you will build a special link with an individual and help

us to protect the whole population. Extinction is forever—the

Moray Firth dolphins cannot be replaced.

When you adopt a dolphin you will be helping to fund our

work protecting dolphins around the world including:

● Essential research——the more we understand about

the dolphins, the better we can protect them.

● Political campaigns to ensure effective laws are in place

to protect the dolphins

and give them a safer future.

● Equipment such as binoculars, cameras and acoustic

recorders to help with our research.
