<div>Ok guys this is bad, bad, bad... Japan won the vote to do whaling again. This will undo 20 years of conservation efforts for the whales. These folks don't realize that these animals are the balancers of the world and the oceans. They will be disrupting the circle of life and this delicate balance. This will ultimately affect man. They think these are just "animals" when we know they are so much more than that...highly intelligent and spiritual. Please have a voice for the whales...sign petitions and/or donate to Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd. You can even contact the IWC (International Whaling Commission) The whales need our help... let's try to make sure our kids get to see and enjoy whales too.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/whalevoices">a voice for Whales</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>lets HOPE the Whales get a victory again this year in Chile. This would mean the Japanese would NOT get a majority vote. They would have to be limited to their whale catches.(which they should not even be doing at all) so cheer on for the whales!!!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/whalevoices">a voice for Whales</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>It appears as if Japan could NOT get a majority vote again this year. They are being limited on how many whales they can take along with Norway and Iceland. Also the scientific research they claim they are doing will also be furtherly reviewed by the comission. yeah!!!!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/whalevoices">a voice for Whales</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hi, <br/>You might like to know about a project Im working on to help the whales. If you are not able to be a sponsor, please earmark my website or join my myspace site and follow this exciting journey and campaign to help the whales. <br/> <br/>“Flight of the Humpback” <br/>Brief Outline: <br/>“Flight of the Humpback” is a carefully thought out strategy to contribute to the global effort to stop whaling. For the first time in over 30 years, this December 2007, Australian humpbacks and other endangered whales will be targeted by Japanese whalers when they return to the Antarctic. <br/> <br/>There are 3 main elements to this strategy. <br/>The Journey <br/>The Website <br/>The Film <br/> <br/>The Journey and Interactive Website will be funded as one project and happen simultaneously. The Film will include the Journey and will be separately funded and include extra material. <br/> <br/>The Journey: Australia, July, August, September, October. <br/>At the core of “Flight of the Humpback” is the journey of a group of passionate activists, musicians and celebrities who sail and interact with the humpbacks on their migration along the east coast of Australia. The aim of the crew and the journey is to raise public awareness to the plight of these endangered humpbacks and other targeted whales and inspire people to take action to ensure their continued protection. A large 65 foot catamaran called the “Pelican” will be an exciting filming platform and an important tool to meet and network with people along the migration route. The Pelican is a state of the art ocean sailing catamaran designed for marine research, film production, eco tourism, and environmental education. The Pelican will visit around 15-20 ports on route over a 3 month period along the east coast of Australia including Sydney, Brisbane the Great Barrier Reef and Hervey Bay where the migrating humpbacks play, mate, rest, fatten up their babies and prepare for the long southern journey back to the Antarctic. Australian indigenous representatives will join the Pelican and share there traditional connections with the whales. We will hear the prophecy of Jiddera, the white whale. In fact there is now a white whale know as Migaloo among the Australian eastern humpbacks who has become the icon of the migration. <br/> <br/>These port visits will help galvanise Australian opposition to Japanese whaling and generate public awareness of the action based website. This exciting interactive website will show regular video clips of the journey and become a dynamic forum and tool for people to lobby and become active for the whales. Ongoing media attention at the ports will allow “Flight of the Humpback” spokespeople, concerned locals, whale watch operators, politicians and celebrities to express their feelings about the escalated illegal whaling by Japan. Whale films, music, journey footage, research and up to date action information will be presented to the public. Each port / community will be invited to adopt a humpback whale as their icon. These port meetings will galvanise support for a major action at Parliament House prior to the Federal election to pressure the government to take stronger measures to help the whales. At the end of the Australian journey, key crew members will continue the “Flight of the Humpback” with the Sea Shepherds or Greenpeace to the Antarctic to physically confront the Japanese whalers and try to stop them from killing whales. <br/>Sponsors <br/>For $10,000 USD or $12,150 AUD, groups, companies or individuals can be major sponsors of the ‘Flight of the Humpback’ project. This will give the sponsor a branding of their name and logo on the front page of the ‘Flight of the Humpback’s’ website (with an active link to their home website), a pendant or banner on the boat, credits in the film and a mention where possible in media releases. Sponsors would be encouraged to let their members know about ‘Flight of the Humpback’ and follow its activities. Major sponsors would be permitted some time on the Pelican and given the opportunity to express opinions related to whale conservation. There may also be opportunities for sponsors to give presentations and screen video clips at ports and on the website. Any level of financial support from groups or individuals will be gratefully received. <br/> <br/>This is a fantastic opportunity for sponsors to significantly contribute to the global effort to ensure the whales’ continued protection. This is a massive global networking and awareness project, with the intention to inspire people and groups all around the world to unite for the whales. <br/> <br/>Phone 61-2-66840002. email, djefferys@aapt.net.au <br/>Draft website http://www.flightofthehumpback.org <br/>The Pelican http://www.svpelican.com.au/index.html <br/> http://www.myspace.com/deanjefferys <br/> <br/>For the whales <br/>Dean Jefferys <br/> <br/> <br/>For the whales <br/>Dean Jefferys <br/> <br/>Producer/Director/Cameraperson/Distributor "Shamans of the Amazon", <br/>"Amazon the Invisible People" "The Last Word" Terence McKenna, <br/> "Into the Heart of Iraq", "Shamans of the Amazon Icaro chants CD" <br/> "A Shamanic adventure in Peru" <br/> <br/>http://www.shamansoftheamazon.com <br/>http://www.worldpeacenow.org.au <br/>http://www.flightofthehumpback.org <br/> <br/> "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." - Jimi Hendrix</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/whalevoices">a voice for Whales</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>Greenpeace launched Whale Cookie Bake sales the weekend of April 28 &amp; 29. They had sent out free kits and a free whale cookie cutter to those who volunteered to have this... I had a Science event on the 29th and decided to include this bake sale. it worked out perfectly!! I made about 70 cookies and had petitions for anyone to sign. I also included a raffle to win a plush Grey Whale and a children's Whale book that I donated for conservation education. I did not charge for the cookies, but instead donated $15 myself to Greenpeace. Everyone gladly signed which was great to see..even the kids with their parents permission, and the raffle was just an added incentive and excitement. The raffle winner was a 4 yr. old boy. This prize could not have gone to a more deserving person. I hope he will remember this and have a voice for the whales as he grows up! Everyone loved the cookies I had made too!! So it was a sweet ending to a sweet cause for our sweet Whales.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/whalevoices">a voice for Whales</a> - 0 replies </div>

Important addresses: greenpeace.org <br/> IWC.com or IWC.org <br/> IWC= International Whaling Comission <br/>adress of meeting: Hotel Captain Cook <br/> 4th at K Street <br/> Anchorage; Alaska 99501</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/whalevoices">a voice for Whales</a> - 0 replies </div>
