Southern resident orcas are starving. With just 75 left on the planet, we need action to save them from extinction.

Orcas used to be able to rely on a steady stream of Chinook salmon, which make up 80% of their diet. But dams along the Lower Snake River have cut spawning salmon off from the ocean, resulting in far less salmon to go around.

To save the orcas, we’re calling for the Lower Snake River dams to be breached — and only Congress has the authority to do that. Tell your U.S. senators to help save the orcas today.
