I’ve just been invited to attend this meeting as an observer. I hope it steer us on the right direction to find solutions to the stalemate in which is whaling right now.

The Pew Environment Group is organizing the meeting of the Pew Commission on Whale Conservation in the 21st Century.

This is the third major initiative of the Pew Whale Conservation Project. Previous actions included the “Pew Symposium on the Conservation of Whales in the 21st Century” held in New York at the United Nations’ headquarters in April 2007, and the symposium “Changing the Climate for Whales- Is there a Common Way Forward?” held in Tokyo at United Nations University in January 2008.

The Lisbon meeting will take place on 9-10 February at the Headquarters of the Luso-American Foundation. Click here to read the Mandate of the Pew Whales Commission.
