Every Orca Counts
The Southern Resident orcas living along the West Coast are down to just 74 individuals. Restoring streams that feed into the Pacific, planting trees that benefit regional habitat, and engaging the next generation of orca caretakers will help these pods have the food and clean water they need to thrive.
We need your help. Promise the Pod to make a change before it’s too late.
It’s true, planting trees in the right places can bolster whale populations. With One Tree Planted we have helped plant over 2.5 million trees since 2019—from British Columbia to California—near salmon streams and in urban areas to reduce pollution and restore healthy habitats.
The orcas are hungry and their waters are polluted. Communities have already identified priority projects to help address two primary threats— toxic contaminants and lack of prey. All they need now is funding.
