The Whale Projects

Giants of the deep, protected by all of us.

Whales are among the largest, most intelligent, and most awe-inspiring animals ever to have lived on Earth. After centuries of whaling brought many species to the edge of extinction, they are still fighting for survival against hunting, entanglement, ship strikes, pollution, and a warming ocean. This site is a home for the people, organizations, and stories working to change that.
