Join the Virtual March

In a few days, on the 19th of June, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) will come to Ulsan, Korea, to decide the fate of whales. We need the whole world to join us and support whales by making sure that the Korean government does not follow the footsteps of Japanese government, and does not push for a resumption of commercial whaling and lethal research. 

It is impossible to bring you physically here, to the "Whale Embassy", to fight together for the life of whales. This is why we invented this new concept, the "Virtual March", where, by sendind your photo with a banner expressing your rejection for the killing of whales, you can actually be in Ulsan. Your photo,together with thousands of others, will be published in our web-site and, from the day IWC meeting starts, projected on the walls of the building where the meeting will take place. 
Looking forward to seeing you in Ulsan protecting the whales!
