*[Enwl-eng] Let’s free Mexico’s dolphins – forever!

[ecology]

Mexico’s first ever dolphin sanctuary is within reach. Let’s make it happen.

            We have a once-in-a generation chance to release ALL of Mexico's 
captive dolphins imprisoned in cramped, dirty tanks into an underwater 
paradise – but we have to move fast!

            Our partners are racing to create the first-EVER dolphin 
sanctuary in Mexico. It would give up to 300 dolphins a chance to recover 
from years of cruel abuse in concrete tanks and live out the rest of their 
lives in over *600,000 acres* of pristine ocean – an area almost the size of 
Mauritius!

            But the dolphin captivity industry is trying to block this 
life-saving plan.

            Partners are urgently asking for our help to unleash a massive 
groundswell of pressure at this critical moment to make sure authorities 
greenlight this sanctuary.

            If all of us chip in, we could help partners pay for 
groundbreaking investigative work, expose illegal dolphinariums, and launch 
a wave of legal actions to make this sanctuary a reality – then keep 
fighting to end all animal exploitation.

            We’re so close to setting the dolphins free – can you rush a 
donation to help save the dolphins and all our most precious species?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Dolphins are some of the most intelligent and social beings on 
Earth – they use tools, form tight family and social bonds, and even can 
recognise themselves in the mirror! But these amazing animals’ lives are 
being reduced to a horrific nightmare. Instead of swimming free in the wide 
ocean, hundreds are forced to perform tricks in tiny cages.

            Nearly 40,000 of us signed a petition that helped pass a new law 
banning dolphin shows, swim-with-dolphin programs, and the breeding of 
marine mammals in captivity. It was a huge victory – but our work isn’t done 
yet.

            The dolphinarium industry is lobbying hard against a proposal to 
approve Mexico’s first-ever dolphin sanctuary in Quintana Roo, a tourism 
hotspot where many dolphins are located. This pristine sanctuary would use 
already-identified coastal areas that can be adapted to provide a safe, 
natural environment.

            We urgently need to show the state authorities now that there is 
massive global support for this dolphin sanctuary. So here’s the plan: first 
we’ll mobilize a wave of public pressure to show them that people in Mexico 
and around the world want dolphins freed – not exploited.

            Then, our partner Animal Heroes can move ahead with plans to 
unleash huge actions in front of the State Congress and a dolphinarium to 
capture the attention of decision-makers and the media. And at the same 
time, we’ll help Animal Heroes document abuses inside existing 
dolphinariums, equip activists with cameras and legal support, and push the 
government to shut down the worst offenders.

            This is our chance to turn the tide on dolphin captivity in 
Mexico – but only if we come together. Please, if you can, donate today to 
help expose the abusers, greenlight the sanctuary, and help make animal 
exploitation a thing of the past.

            Can you chip in today to help defend our natural world?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide 
fighting for people and the planet.


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Allison and the Ekō team
