One Species Orca Conservation Trip

Donation protected

One Species
 are a growing army of young conservationists.
 The team partner with international organisations working on the ground to preserve critically endangered species.  A key objective of the brand is to build and support a community of conservationists via their unique international ambassador programme; in addition to your typical programme, One Species connect people worldwide with the aim of building a strong community that share a common goal - fighting extinction.  

To raise funds for their partners One Species manufacture and sell sustainable apparel.  Each range of clothing represents a particular endangered species, and 10% of each sale goes towards the respective project.  Moreover, One Species meets with its partners in the field to personally witness their work, ensuring your money contributes directly to tangible causes. 

This appeal is in favour of the endangered southern resident killer whale  (SRKW).  Only 78 individuals remain, all of which actually belong to an extended 'family' group comprising three distinct pods.  Our partner, Cetus Research & Conservation Society require specialised equipment to continue their monitoring work of this species (and others) in order to protect the reamaining few. 

Cetus operate off the coast of British Columbia where they promote marine conservation issues, engage with fishermen and federal governments to promote safe practices, and monitor marine life and human disturbance with the aim of limiting impacts to wildlife (e.g. SRKW).

At the end of June I will be travelling to Vancouver as part of the One Species team where we will meet with Cetus.  We will be personally introduced to the work Cetus are undertaking to help conserve the SRKW, and we will be creating a documentary series to bridge the gap between the public and this conservation issue, continuing to educate and build a growing wildlife conservation community.

Being a wildlife charity, Cetus are dependent upon its volunteers and supporters/donors e.g. One Species...and you!  Engagement with the public is at the center of conservation; promoting current issues, obtaining support, educating the public on caring for their planet, and connecting people with their environment.  Without this work conservation organisations wouldn't succeed; this task is just as important, if not more so, than the hands on work conservationists carry out in the field.  We rely on your support to help us conserve these species.  

Your donations will go towards travel, accommodation, and equipment costs.  10% of all donations and any funds raised above £700 will be donated directly to the charity.  Your support will assist the work Cetus is carrying out, enable One Species to promote the charity and the plight of the remaining 78 southern resident killer whales, and will enable us to continue building a vital conservation community, namely the next generation of conservationists who we desperately need to ensure the longevity of conservation.

I thank you for taking the time to read this appeal, and for any support you can provide to make this trip a reality.
