Urgent appeal to save thousands of whales
Within hours, nations could vote to create a vital whale sanctuary encompassing the entire South Atlantic Ocean. Japan is lobbying hard to block it, but now we can create the groundswell of support that could make key nations stand up to the pressure and save these incredible species from commercial whaling!

Several Caribbean nations are on the fence, torn between supporting the sanctuary for the benefit of their international image and tourism industry, and wanting to maintain strong relations with Japan -- and their votes will make all the difference in establishing a haven for threatened whales. If we create enough pressure in the coming hours, by calling on key Caribbean nations - we can convince them to vote for whales and burnish their image as stewards of the ocean.

The parties are meeting today. Let’s show Caribbean leaders just how quickly the world can mobilise when the survival of these amazing creatures is at stake. Send a message to these Heads of State now using the box on the right.

Suggested message text Please support the creation of the South Atlantic Whale Sanctuary at this week's International Whaling Commission meeting. Whale species' survival is still at risk from decades of commercial whaling and the numerous threats to our ocean from pollution, climate change and commercial fishing. This is your best opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to whale conservation and make the Caribbean islands all the more attractive as tourism and whale-watching destinations.
