| Feature Story | Whaling, Whaling Over the Ocean Blue?  It could be rough seas ahead for our vanishing whales. Last month, the International Whaling Commission voted by a margin of just one vote to eventually resume commercial whaling. But the fight is far from over.
Leading up to the vote, whale supporters made their voices heard -- nearly 32,000 Defenders activists alone sent emails to the White House supporting the 20-year-old ban on commercial whaling (our goal was 25,000). Now, the U.S. and its allies are launching a concerted effort to keep the whaling ban in place.

Much of his time is spent on working with local landowners and livestock growers to reduce the chances of bear/human conflicts. Local people trust Dan to address problems in a fair way when they arise. This has resulted in greater tolerance and acceptance of grizzly bears on the reservation -- a winning combination for people and wildlife. People like Dan are an important part of protecting our grizzlies by teaching others how to live with them. Learn more about how Defenders is helping others live with bears, wolves and other wild carnivores. | | | |  |
