Making Waves for Whales and Dolphins

Since 2014, the gaming and creator community have helped raise over £5 million for WDC - helping fund real-world conservation, like:

Whales and dolphins are vital to ocean health - and a healthy ocean helps fight climate breakdown. But they face urgent threats: pollution, entanglement, whaling, captivity, and more.

Meet our ambassadors

Check out our incredible Ambassadors from the industry. Each of our Ambassadors has a great love for whales and dolphins, and generously offers their valuable skills and expertise within the industry to support WDC and our work through games.

James Gourlay

Steam platform specialist at Tencent Games

"I am incredibly proud to be an ambassador for such an amazing charity. Growing up by the ocean in St. Andrews, Scotland, I often saw large pods of dolphins swimming by as I stood on the shoreline as a boy. Those moments had a profound impact on me, and I believe we must work hard to ensure future generations can experience these magical creatures in their natural habitat.”

James Schall

Co-founder and VP of Publishing Strategy at Secret Mode

“I’m so proud to be a WDC Ambassador. The work they do for the survival and future health of whales and dolphins across the world is incredible and I’m honoured to be part of the team. I’ve supported the charity since childhood and am excited to see how the video games industry can do so much more than pure fundraising. Often awareness, understanding and knowledge about these wonderful intelligent and beautiful creatures is just as important to achieve as coins in buckets!”

Rufus Kubica

External development director at 11 bit Studios

“Whales and dolphins have always fascinated me - because they seemed to be the closest thing to fantastic creatures that one was used to hearing about in legends and myths. In these stories, their power was immeasurable and they were invincible - but in the real world, it is they who need our support and protection. I hope that through my activities in the gaming world - I will be able to aid these magnificent living beings at least a little.”

John Clark

Maya Higa

Conservationist, Twitch streamer and Founder of Alveus Sanctuary

“I love WDC because it is a great way for me to get my feet wet in marine conservation – I don’t get to talk about the ocean very much on my channels so this is very special to me. As an Ambassador I hope to use my existing platforms to get that word out, and combine my audience with WDC’s to help teach as many people about marine conservation as possible.”

MCroft07

Bodypaint and makeup streamer and Twitch Ambassador

“I love WDC because of their transparency with how they spend their money. I feel strongly about trying to be more sustainable where possible and WDC work to problem solve with really good solutions. As an ambassador, I hope to lead more fundraising and help more people understand why the whales and dolphins, as well as the ocean as a whole, is very important. More information is only ever a good thing. People make a huge difference when we all work together!"

RTGame

Variety streamer, Twitch Ambassador and certified Drift King

“I want to do everything I can to protect whales and dolphins. I love them dearly and want to keep them safe from the many threats they face. My community is always fantastic for coming together for a good cause - it’s really quite shocking how much good we’re able to achieve while playing games. It’s really vital work and it’s important we come together and it’s fantastic to see how our communities can make such a big difference for these amazing beings.”

Chris Lewis

Chris ‘Sufin’ Lewis
Head of Creators and Publishing at Frozen District

The seas and oceans have always felt like home to me, shaped by a life spent moving between coastlines across Europe and beyond. Working at the heart of the video games industry, I am proud to use my platform and relationships to help WDC reach new audiences, particularly within the gaming and streaming world, where passionate, engaged communities can make a real difference for whales, dolphins and our shared oceans.
