Shark Stanley

Video blog from Pete Bethune about the Shark Stanley campaign that Earthrace is supporting, started by www.sharkdefenders.com. A great way for people to join in an action from home and pressure CITES into increasing protecting for our manta rays and sharks.

London protest against the Taiji Dolphin Slaughter

The protest had huge support from passing traffic and pedestrians - and it closed the Embassy down for the duration which hopefully inconvenienced the Japanese officials inside.
