Today, on World Wildlife Day, we celebrate the beauty, intelligence, and ecological importance of whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals. These remarkable species play essential roles in maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems and belong in the vast, dynamic environments where they naturally thrive.
This day also invites reflection on the practice of keeping cetaceans in captivity in the name of conservation. As marine science advances, growing evidence highlights that true conservation success lies in protecting ocean habitats and addressing the threats these species face in the wild.
Dolphinaria-Free Europe examines this important issue in our white paper, The Seaworthiness of Noah’s Ark, exploring whether captivity aligns with modern conservation goals.
