Whales still need special protection

Publication date: 
22 March, 2007

The history of whaling in the 20th century demonstrates clearly that whales need special protection from trade pressures. The relentless erosion of whale populations by the whaling industry in the first half of this century led to the formation of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) in 1946.

Japan pushes commercial whaling into the new Millennium

Publication date: 
29 December, 2000

Commercial whaling has decimated whale population after whale population. The development of new technology in the first part of the twentieth century, such as the introduction in 1925 of the first factory ship, enabled the whaling nations to hunt whales in the vast seas that surround Antarctica. The same pattern of destructive over-exploitation that characterises all commercial whaling operations occurred in these Southern Oceans. It has been estimated that in the fifty years from 1925-1975 over 1.5 million whales were killed in total, the majority of these in Antarctic waters.

The stepping stones towards a Global Whale Sanctuary are already being laid

In 1979, three years before the historic moratorium decision, the IWC agreed to an Indian Ocean sanctuary. Fifteen years later, in 1994, Greenpeace was instrumental in securing an additional sanctuary in the Southern Ocean which covers all the waters around Antarctica, so ensuring that there can never be legal whaling again in the feeding grounds of three quarters of the world's whales.
