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 Cetacean Liaison Group, a group of dolphin and whale conservation experts active in all parts of the world. They chose them on the base of their conservation potential. YoD Partner WDCS (Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society) will play an active part in the implementation of the projects.

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

For this purpose, we have 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
4. The South Asian region
5. The West African coastal region
