Alert: Support our Sanctuary for Whales  
Focus: Endangered Species
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States

The Petition:

"I support the creation of a South Atlantic Whale Sanctuary. The South Atlantic is an important whale conservation area that provides the bordering nations with opportunities to develop whale-watching operations. In addition, the Sanctuary would provide a safe area to conduct humane scientific research. 

"I call on the International Whaling Commission to approve the South Atlantic Whale Sanctuary during its annual meeting that starts on June 23rd, 2008, in Santiago, Chile."

Blog: Japan: investigate the stolen whale meat scandal  

We urgently need your help! We’ve just exposed the biggest scandal to hit the whaling industry in Japan ever, involving widespread corruption, stolen whale meat, and embezzlement from Japanese taxpayers. We all need to push the government there to shut down whaling, cut off its tax subsidies, and investigate this scandal on the Japanese people, a majority of whom don’t support whaling. Please send the message below to the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan!

Alert: Stand with Tibet - Support the Dalai Lama  
Focus: Human Rights
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
After decades of repression, Tibetans are crying out to the world for change. China's leaders are right now making a crucial choice between escalating brutality or dialogue that could determine the future of Tibet, and China.

We can affect this historic choice -- China does care about its international reputation. But it will take an avalanche of global people power to get the government's attention. The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has called for restraint and dialogue: he needs the world's people to support him

Alert: Solidarity: Send Commissioner Dimas a postcard  
Focus: Environment
Action Request: Write Letter
Location: United States

Dear friends,

Environment Commissioner Dimas needs some support right now! Can you help?

Last year more than 130,000 people joined our cyberaction supporting Commissioner Dimas' proposal not to authorise the cultivation of two new GMOs in Europe. However, the agri-chemical industry and their lackeys in Brussels are fighting back very strongly, trying to isolate Dimas and to force him to authorise their GM products.

If Dimas receives picture postcards from all over Europe -- and from supporters around the world -- he'd know he's not alone. You know the feeling. It's so rare to send real hand-written postcards these days, that every single one makes an impression.

Do you want to keep risky GM crops away from European fields, food and feed?

Thank you!

Marco Contiero, (Policy Advisor on GMOs, Greenpeace European Unit, Brussels)

P.S. 130,000 people sending messages to the Commission is a lot! But, we need to be even more, and send Commissioner Dimas as many postcards in support as possible. Therefore please forward that message to at least three friends and ask them to take action as well.

Alert: Protect Yellowstone and the Greater Rockies  
Focus: Environment
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
The Bush administration wants to sacrifice some of the wildest
regions of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming to produce fuel from two
of the most polluting sources: oil shale and tar sands.

This proposed development -- spanning an area of more than two
million acres of wildlife habitat and outstanding recreation
areas across three states -- could pollute air and water,
jeopardize human health and dramatically worsen global warming.

Alert: Investigate Attacks on Campaigner against Mass Atrocities  
Focus: Human Rights
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
Guillermo Chen is a Guatemalan human rights defender and the Director of the New Hope Foundation Rio Negro in the town of Rabinal. He has been encouraging testimony from survivors of mass atrocities committed during the country's civil war for use in court against the alleged perpetrators.  A U.N. truth commission estimated that 200,000 Guatemalans were killed in the 36-year armed conflict, which ended in 1996.

Last week, on March 5, the same day that victims his organization works with were presenting evidence in court, unknown attackers shot Chen's house six times. The Guatemalan human rights community fears that this incident was an attempt to deter him and his organization from carrying out their important work to enable the prosecution of mass atrocities in Guatemala.
