Whale and Dolphin Conservation
We would like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our recent Secret Ruin Hike day trip!
Without you we wouldn’t be able to support the amazing WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation.

BORNWILD AND WDC
Supporting organizations like WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation is one of the greatest and purposeful ventures we get to work on at BornWild. WDC is the leading conservation organisation for whales and dolphins worldwide. WDC has thirty years experience conducting and supporting vital conservation, education and research projects around the globe. Their goal is to end captivity, end whaling, prevent deaths in nets, create clean healthy seas and create a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free. We stand proud being able to support such a meaningful and successful organisation!
Last year, on our Ultimate Scottish Adventure where we toured the wild but breath-taking North Coast 500 route in the highlands of Scotland - we supported their inspiring work conserving, educating and researching vital projects around the globe.

On the subject of Scotland, WDC also run the incredible Shorewatch volunteer programme along the coast of NE Scotland, along the Moray Firth, an area that is home to a resident pod of around 200 bottlenose dolphins. The team involve local communities in the conservation process of whales and dolphins, by having them collect vital data while simultaneously inspiring them to speak to visitors about the local sea life. They also have fun and important programs like Adopt a Dolphin, Adopt a Humpback and Adopt an Orca to get people involved and contributing any way they can.
Recently, through our Secret Ruin Hike NY day trip we continued this support and are delighted with all the positive updates we are receiving from their amazing organisation. We plan to continue supporting WDC’s work in our future adventures too.
