In the new 'Priority Projects' section on this website, we highlight a number of especially valuable projects dealing with topics closely related to dolphin and whale conservation.

The projects were chosen from a large selection by the CetaceanLiaison Group, a group of dolphin and whale conservation experts activein all parts of the world. They chose them on the base of their conservationpotential. YoD Partner WDCS(Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society) will play an active part inthe implementation of the projects.

If you find one of theprojects especially appealing, you can donate to make it happen. We(will) provide the necessary information along with a projectdescription. We will support these projects through fundraising,channeling of donations and awareness raising.

For this purpose, wehave chosen one project each from
1. The ASCOBANS agreement area (ASCOBANS is the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Baltic and North Seas)
2. The ACCOBAMS agreement area (ACCOBAMS is the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Black and Mediterranean Seas)
3. The South Pacific Islands region
