SAve the iberian orca
A campaign lead by WeWhale and Iberian Orca Guardians
Monitoring Iberian orca since 2024
Field presence, real-time data, active protection
A POPULATION ON THE EDGE
Fewer than 30 individuals left
One of the most endangered marine mammal populations on Earth
More threatened than ever
Entanglement, collisions, gunshot wounds. As interactions with vessels increase, so does the risk to a population that cannot afford to lose a single individual.
Every orca counts
Time is running out for this population. Your contribution helps us monitor, protect and give the Iberian orca a voice.
Changing the narrative
Let them be understood, not feared
We work to replace that narrative with facts, field data and firsthand experience
Fostering coexistence, not confrontation
We provide real-time information on orca presence in the area and share navigation guidelines to help minimise encounters and promote safer practices.
Changing the story, one person at a time
Through education, storytelling and outreach on the ground and online, we help people see them for what they really are: a population fighting to survive.
EYES AND EARS ON THE WATER
We collect and analyse data on orcas and their habitat to better understand their distribution, behaviour and the pressures they face.
Strait of Gibraltar
Home to Iberian orcas since ancient times
Part of our history, our culture, our natural heritage. They belong here.
