Aescleah
Hi. I'm Aescleah and I want to know why the Hector's dolphin isn't being protected more. 25 years ago there were 30,000 Hector's dolphins around the South Island - in 2009, the best estimate is that there are now less than 7,500. We know why they are dying, because of pollution and being caught in fishing nets, but why aren't we protecting them from these problems? So I decided to help WWF by doing a walk from Lyttleton to Akaroa so that more people could understand that this is a big problem - we might lose our dolphins - they are so gorgeous, we can't let that happen. Did you know New Zealand would be first country in the world to let a marine dolphin become extinct? Help me to help save the Hector's dolphin

Hey, I'm Nathan, and I decided to support Aescleah Hawkins by walking with her on the Walk for Hectors on 4, 5 and 6 of March 2010 and help raise awareness for the protection of the endangered Hector's dolphin. Hectors dolphins are threatened with extinction, they are the smallest dolphins in the world. They are only found in New Zealand. Thirty years ago, (that’s 1980) there were over 26,000, now there are only about 7,000. To save them from extinction we need to help the WWF increase their work in educating people, informing them of the effects of pollution, drop net fishing and outboard motors on the dolphins, but this takes finances which is where you come in sponsoring me on the walk. I would be really grateful and I think the dolphins would too if you will donate either directly to me or via this site.
Kurtt
Dad and I love the outdoors and this beautiful country which we live. It is such a great opportunity that we are able to take apart in the Walk for Hector's dolphins and wonderful that Dad and I can both take part.
