Hawaiian
ancestors lived deeply interconnected to each other, the land,
and the sea. Dolphins (Nai`a) were considered by some to be
one form of the spiritual manifestation of the god, Kanaloa.
Humans are terrestrial animals, and our capacity to see and
understand the importance and vulnerability of life in the sea
has trailed our growing ability to harm it. Our very existence
depends upon healthy oceans; dolphins and other cetaceans represent
a critical piece to this huge ecosystem.
The Wild Dolphin Foundation is a Hawaii-based grassroots
NPO, whose mission is protecting and restoring the natural habitats of dolphins
through research, advocacy, public education and conservation and to create culturally-sustainable change in
human behaviors which continue to threaten the well-being
of dolphins and their host communities worldwide.
"To cherish what remains of the Earth and to foster its
renewal is our only legitimate hope of survival."
Wendell Berry

must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not
only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other
forms of life." -Dalai Lama |
