Secret Mode announces WDC as its Charity Of The Year partner
Full year of activity planned to help raise vital funds and awareness to protect whales and dolphins, including an Urban Beach Clean at Develop:Brighton
Leamington Spa, UK (29 June 2022) – Secret Mode is pleased to confirm it has selected global marine charity Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) as its Charity of the Year partner.
Earlier in June, Secret Mode participated in WDC’s World Oceans Day sale, with 100% of publisher revenue from the first 24 hours of the event donated to WDC. Secret Mode has now officially begun the partnership by donating a further £3,000 to WDC’s Climate Giant Project, directly supporting research and conservation projects that help to protect and save more whales, and by adopting Holly the orca.
On 12 July, Secret Mode, WDC and SpecialEffect are teaming up at Develop:Brighton for an Urban Beach Clean event inspired by the upcoming ocean cleanup adventure, Loddlenaut, published by Secret Mode and developed by Moon Lagoon. If you are a games industry professional attending Develop please register your interest for the event here.
“We at Secret Mode are excited to support WDC’s conservation work,” says James Schall, WDC Ambassador and VP of publishing strategy at Secret Mode. “We feel the health of our oceans and of the largest mammals on earth are so connected to the overall health of our planet, that we were eager to help play our part in continuing to protect these wonderful creatures.”
“Games companies have helped to raise over £3.5 million over the last decade, helping us make significant progress on our conservation projects across the globe,” says Sally Ward, digital partnerships manager at WDC. “From creating the world’s first beluga sanctuary in Iceland, protecting the critically endangered Atlantic humpback dolphin from extinction in Senegal, reducing accidental entanglement in creel fishing gear in Scotland, and so much more, the impact is far-reaching. It is wonderful to have Secret Mode join us to fight for a healthier ocean and protecting the whales and dolphins who call it home.”
Further events and activities around ocean cleanup adventure Loddlenaut and WDC will be announced later in the year.
