Francisca, a newborn Blainville’s dolphin (Pontoporia blainvillei), was found alone and in critical condition on the coast of Florianópolis, Brazil, on January 3, 2025. As one of the world’s most endangered dolphin species, her story highlights the increasing number of strandings of these vulnerable animals.
Her care costs €200 per day – Francisca’s survival depends on intensive, professional round-the-clock care, special milk, and a dedicated team at R3 in Florianópolis, Brazil. Each day of rehabilitation costs €200. Your help is needed to continue this life-saving work.
R3 is part of the Alliance for Franciscana Dolphin Conservation Research, Rescue, and Rehabilitation (AFCR3), which is supported by YAQU PACHA, the Nuremberg Zoo, the National Marine Mammal Foundation, and Dolphin Quest. When you support Francisca, you are not only helping her but also her entire species.
