Scientists have warned that the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale may be extinct by the year 2037, only a shocking 20 years away, if action to protect them isn't done immediately.

We are now recruiting for two Wildlife Officers to deliver the Wildlife Officer programme in the North Sea, on board the DFDS King Seaways passenger ferry sailing from North Shields (UK) to Ijmuiden (Netherlands).

With over 110 schools across the world taking part in ORCA's Whale Education Month, we are encouraging even more teachers to use our free resources to inspire students about incredible marine wildlife.

Thousands of UK children are set to take part in a whale sized schools project throughout October.

ORCA  is launching its first ever Whale Education Month to coincide with World Animal Day, which is today (the 4th October)!
