Whales are not saved. Although commercial whaling has been banned for more than two decades, Japan, Iceland and Norway continue to fire harpoons into these gentle creatures. More than 30,000 whales have been killed since the 1986 ban on whaling. You can help make the world a safer place for whales by protecting one of the largest whale habitats. The International Whaling Commission (IWC) meets on June 23rd, 2008, in Santiago, Chile. The Commission members will consider a proposal to create a South Atlantic Whale Sanctuary that will extend across the South Atlantic, from the coast of South America to the coast of Africa, and on down towards Antarctica. IFAW will be campaigning vigorously to convince IWC members to approve the South Atlantic Whale Sanctuary. But they can’t do it alone. They need our help and it's just a simple click. find out more...sign the petition
