End of 2012 achievements/Fin des victoires 2012

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!!! Wish you all the best for 2013! 🙂

I thought the best way to start this year was by writing the last piece of the achievement post from Christmas. I don’t have much to do in English as I already said everything in the first part so I’ll just forward you the link again and then I’ll translate into French.

Cheers!

Meanwhile, here’s a shot from the layout of Taiji made by Martin Stewart (audio/naturalist specializing in location and field recordings, mostly for natural history documentaries): 

2012 Achievements in animal activism / Les réussites 2012 dans le domaine de l’activisme animal

“Whenever there is injustice in the world, ordinary folk speak up for the voiceless. Sometimes it takes a monumental effort and other times simple collective outrage. Here are the best achievements in activism for cetaceans in 2012, according to activists. When I posed the question of favorite achievements in animal activism over the last 12 months, I wasn’t expecting such an incredible response.”

I forward you the link of the article. It really does bring joy at this time of year! 🙂

I cut the French version in half because of the length of the article. I didn’t want to bore my readers now did I? The second part will definitely be added within few days.

Meanwhile, Merry Christmas to you all! 🙂

Whale and Dolphin Conservation

Hi everybody!

I thought I’d share that one! I got this in my email box this morning:

WDC (Whale and Dolphin Conservation) is the leading global charity society dedicated to the conservation and welfare of all whales and dolphins.

In short, they are the world voice for the protection of cetaceans.
They defend these remarkable creatures against the many treats that they face:
-Hunting
-Captivity
-Chemical and noise pollution
-Entanglement in fishing nets
-Climate change

Basically, they raise campaigns, funds. They support every political decision created to help protect whales and dolphins and their habitat. They fight to expose the truth to people and governments about abuses done to the animals.

The Woman Who Swims With Killer Whales

Absolutely great documentary!! You definitely want to watch this! You’ll get to learn great things about New Zealand orcas through Dr Ingrid Visser’s knowledge.
