  • Aboard our floating classrooms, children learn to respect and appreciate whales and other endangered marine wildlife.
  • We teach community-based companion animal welfare from South Africa to Navajo Nation.
  • We help local communities in Africa and Asia learn to live in harmony with wild animals.
