Description

Great for a Show and Tell at school!

As Steve Irwin said, "If love something, you'll want to save it."
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE:
This adoption package is different because it isn't just a general species you adopt, but a specific orca. The area has 3 resident pods that spend a lot of time in the San Juan Islands (very cool islands, great for kayaking and whale watching- definately recommend it). The pods are J, K, and L pods and each one is a close-knit family, offspring stay with the parents. These whales were recently added to the endangered species list, because they are genetically different from other orcas. Their numbers are drastically declining (all together have less than 90 individuals). It is completely possible that they will become extinct. So please, please, please support this cause!
INCLUDES:
You get lots of stuff with this contribution (non-profit), including: a biography of your whale, a booklet about the Southern Resident Orcas, genealogy charts, a newsletter and much more! They also have a very cool Classroom Adoption Package for teachers.

One last thing, how cool would it be to make it a priority to take a vacation to the area and have a chance to spot "your" whale! It doesn't get more personal than that!
