Global Petition for ‘Homes for Whales and Dolphins'
Please join our campaign for the creation of safe havens, or marine protected areas (MPAs), for whales and dolphins, by signing the petition below. Alternatively, you can download a printable version. The campaign calls for 12 large, highly protected MPAs by 2012, including Antarctica’s Ross Sea and the Alborán Sea in the western Mediterranean. Act Now!
Every day whales and dolphins face becoming entangled in fishing nets, poisoned by chemicals, harassed, hunted, starved and evicted from where they feed, breed and take shelter. These long-lived, social mammals urgently need safe homes in the sea – protected places where they can raise their families, find food, rest and play.
I, the undersigned, demand that the leaders of my government, the governments of the world and the appropriate international conservation agreements work together to create a global network of marine protected areas (MPAs) for whales and dolphins, and other marine life and ecosystems. |
