Antarctica and the
Galapagos
Save the Whale Shark
Goal - $1,000.00
Let’s keep our planet
healthy and thriving
For GENERATIONS to come!
Dream
of a Better World has partnered with organizations in Antarctica and the
Galapagos who are committed to protecting endangered animals and the
environment, and to helping keep the world and it’s ecosystems intact and
flourishing for generations to come.
Our first projects in the deep Southern Hemisphere were with explorer, Jonathan Greene, and the
Turtle Island Restoration Network, to help save the whale shark population from
diminishing in the Galapagos and surrounding areas. Despite being the largest fish on Earth (about the size of a
bus!), the whale shark is submerged in mystery and travels over huge distances
every year. With its global population in decline, now is the time to start
answering some of the key questions about the needs and patterns of this
gentle giant to ensure its future protection.
Our support will help to
protect and conserve this majestic fish and other sea creatures from poaching, possible
extinction and further endangerment. Your donation will help fund
critical research of these threatened sharks in Galapagos and will help
conserve their populations, both in Galapagos and around the world.
Thank
you to our supporters who have asked for and recommended projects like this one
that help us reach out to the far corners of the planet to preserve and protect
our earth! Thanks to your donations, this year they were able to find and track
a whale shark, that they affectionately named “Hannah!” Apparently, “Hannah” is
quite a spunky whale shark. She took off and swam
almost non-stop to the coast of Ecuador, which shows how fast and how far this
species can travel!
PLEASE
join us to help make a real
difference to whale shark poaching and conservation, both in the Galapagos and
globally.
