The Dolphin Conservation Trust’s purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world. It
tries to raise people’s awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because
of pollution and other threats. It started ten years ago and it’s one of the fastest growing animal
charities in the country - although it's still fairly small compared with the big players in animal
protection. About thirty-five per cent of members are children.
