Whales and dolphins are more than just ocean giants—they’re vital to the health of our entire planet. In this episode of Echoes of the Wild, Matt sits down with Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) to explore why these marine mammals matter, the threats they face, and the powerful work being done to protect them.

From ending deliberate harm like whaling and captivity to tackling bycatch, vessel strikes, and ocean noise, WDC leads the charge for safer seas and stronger protections. You’ll hear stories from the field, insights into policy and advocacy, and how public engagement can spark real change.
