AUSTRALIA'S WHALES NEED YOUR HELP



Recently, the Australian Environment Minister took an unprecedented decision to delay oil and gas exploration in critical whale habitat off the southern coast of Australia. But the oil and gas giants are back again with another application to use their high-powered airguns for seismic testing. Ocean noise pollution from this testing can force whales away from these vital feeding grounds and migratory routes. That’s why we need your help again to protect these precious waters – one of the few places in the world where the majestic blue whale comes to feed each year.




Tell Australia’s Environment Minister, Tony Burke, you want to Australia live up to its rhetoric on global whale conservation and protect these gentle giants.




TELL JAPAN IT IS TIME TO STOP SLAUGHTERING WHALES : STOP JAPAN FROM IGNORING THE INTERNATIONAL WHALING COMMISSION MORATORIUM ON






In 1986, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) banned commercial whaling; yet even today, several countries continue the cruel practice. Why? Because under the 1946 IWC Convention, two loopholes allow countries to kill under the pretense of "official objection" or "scientific whaling." However it's labeled, whales are dying for commercial gain.



There is no excuse for continuing to allow this barbaric and outdated practice, especially as other threats to whales such as pollution and climate change increase. It is time to call on all nations to safeguard whales from this cruel and unnecessary threat to whales in their waters.



Join us in calling on world leaders to make their waters whale-friendly by banning commercial hunting and the transit of whale products, thereby giving whales needed refuge everywhere they feed, breed and migrate. No exceptions.
