This week we’re attending the annual meeting of the International Whaling Commission to keep a watchful eye on any negotiations that might lead to legitimizing commercial whaling. We’ve been quite busy working around the clock for the whales and to prove to everyone that whales are meant to be seen, not hurt. Sadly, as the clock ticks on the conference room wall Iceland continues to kill endangered fin whales. Just this morning the whalers killed two more of these rare giants. The same whales my friends in Iceland’s whale watching industry depends on.

On Tuesday we released Whale Watching Worldwide and Australian minister Peter Garrett introduced the IFAW report to the IWC Commission meeting with an excellent speech, crediting IFAW for its production on the floor of the meeting. There was a great deal of support among the countries in attendance for the report.

Japan’s ‘scientific whaling’ in the North Pacific was discussed and as usual the pro-whaling countries praised the critical importance of lethal research. I’m sure if Japan’s supermarkets were in attendance they’d praise the program for affording government subsidized meat to sell on its shelves. It was nice to hear the US representative strongly oppose scientific whaling - a product of IFAW’s diligent efforts to put pressure on the US government.

Stay tuned for the latest on our hard work to protect these great animals.

I just wanted to comment on how much I like your blog. It's nice to see a practical whale conservation blog. You guys do a great job conveying the importance of whale conservation today. Keep up the great work.

Canada can keep clubbing seals as far as I'm concerned but protecting endangered whales is key!

I agree with Sam. I loved your blog. It's good to see that some people are finally starting to back up the whale community. I'd like to see some action taken.

I would like to start off by saying that im not a hipie if you will. Now Ive noticed all the killing of whales and dolphins and wonder why no one takes SEAROUS action. I laugh at everyone that thinks stuff like this can be fixed through non violent diplomacy. Its all about money to these fishermen they could care less. I my self own a ak47 .. if i ever saw some dueche bag killing a inocent creature like that i WOULD shoot to kill. I think we need to take a more Violent aproach to whaling. Put REAL fear into these people just as they do to the animals. Fuck the laws just do wats right u know. (i would gladly go to jail for life for offing some dueche that gets his jollies off killing whales and dolphins)The time for protesting is over take action i know i will

China Said Close to Announcing Currency Revision.The Chinese government is set to announce a revision of its currency policy in the coming days that will allow greater variation in the value of its currency combined with a small but immediate jump in its value against the dollar, people with knowledge of the consensus emerging in Beijing said Thursday. While there remains a possibility of a last-minute glitch that could delay the announcement, China’s central bank appears to have prevailed with its arguments within the Chinese leadership for a stronger but more flexible currency, these people said. They insisted on anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue in Beijing.

The rabbit's long ears, which can be more than 10 cm (4 in) long, are probably an adaptation for detecting predators. They have large, powerful hind legs. Each foot has five toes, with one greatly reduced in size.
