June is Orca Action Month! To celebrate, Pacific Wild is partnering with Rogue Detection Teams and Dr. Deborah Giles of The SeaDoc Society for a special webinar on endangered Southern Resident killer whales and the innovative science helping to protect them.
Thursday June 25, 7:00-8:30pm PDT
This presentation will explore the who, what, where, and why of these iconic whales – their ecology, the threats they face, and the recovery efforts underway across the Pacific Northwest. You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how specially trained conservation dog teams help researchers locate whale scat in the field, providing a non-invasive window into whale health, diet, stress, and reproductive success.
From shelter rescue dogs to highly skilled conservation partners, learn about the remarkable “career path” of these canine scientists and how their work, alongside cutting-edge research, is shaping conservation strategies for one of the world’s most endangered killer whale populations. Discover how science, innovation, and collaboration are coming together to support the recovery of Southern Residents and protect these beloved whales for future generations.
