Ballenas en peligro

Cero Caza de Ballenas

    Latin American countries and Civil Society together for the whales

    The 63rd Annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) will take place in Jersey (United Kingdom). Here, member states will take important decisions about the future of whales worldwide.

    Since 2005 ACOREMA joined a coalition of Latin American and Caribbean organizations from the civil society linked to conservation and promotion of research and non-lethal use of cetaceans. Together with the countries of Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Mexico, Dominican Republic and Uruguay (comprising a block named The Buenos Aires Group, or GBA), the Coalition is aimed to sustain a firm position favoring the worldwide moratorium on whaling and implementation of measures to improve the conservation status of these marine mammals. Last month, the Coalition released the “Declaración de las Organizaciones  de la Sociedad Civil de América Latina al Grupo de Buenos Aires. 21 de junio 2001”; from the other side The Buenos Aires Group stated its position through the “Declaración emitida por los países participantes de la VIII Reunión del Grupo de Buenos Aires, Argentina frente a la 63 Reunión de la CBI”. Besides these statements, there are several actions in which individuals and institutions can express their decision to support whale conservation. This is a crucial moment for whales.
