Orca corporate adoption

£1,000 minimum donation, plus £1,000 fundraising target

Orcas are the most widely distributed of all whales and dolphins, found in every ocean. They are complex, highly social, and have different cultures – they have their own civilisation under the sea!  In orca populations, knowledge is passed down to younger individuals from their elders. They are top predators, yes, but not the vicious “whale killers” that the ancient mariners thought them to be.

Orcas worldwide face a number of threats. They have been targeted for capture to be sold to theme parks, in which they spend their lives in small concrete tanks, away from their families with little space to swim. In the wild they also face a lack of food, chemical and noise pollution, increasing ship traffic, harassment, conflict with fisheries, habitat loss and risk of oil spills.  In some regions – Greenland, Japan, Indonesia, and some Caribbean islands – they are also still the victims of hunting.

You can adopt Bend, Fife, Holly and Simoom. These four amazing orcas are part of the Northern Resident population who spend the summer months around British Columbia, Canada.
