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.
