Mario Adorf acts to protect whales

In June, the International Whaling Commission will evaluate a proposal that will lift the ban on commercial whaling for the next ten years. Members of the European Union are struggling to find a common position concerning a practice that is strictly prohibited within EU waters.

To wake decision makers from their current state of inactivity and call on the wider public to act against whaling, WDCS The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society has recently launched a 90 sec video featuring a remarkable Mario Adorf.

The video urges the public to sign an e-protest and e-petition, which is automatically delivered to various governments.

Watch the video and sign the petition at www.whales.org.

OCEANS - the film

On Earth Day 2010 (April 22nd), Disneynature will be releasing the documentary film OCEANS.

Featuring spectacular imagery captured by the latest underwater technologies and showed through the eyes of the creatures that live there, OCEANS promises an unprecedented look beneath the sea in a powerful motion picture.

OCEANS calls for the need to respect nature and it aims to demonstrate the negative impacts of human activities.

We have not seen the movie yet, but it looks like something that shouldn't be missed.
