Two countries, Japan and Norway, continue to hunt whales for profit and they are pushing for whaling to be legalised again. Greenpeace wants to ensure the two countries do not succeed in lifting the ban on whaling through the votes of countries to which Japan has in turn offered more development aid. Currently on tour around Central Europe, Greenpeace are collecting signatures calling on the countries' governments to become members of the International Whaling Commission in order to counterbalance the votes of Japan's allies. This week, the campaigners are collecting signatures around Prague. Pavla Horakova went to one of the Greenpeace stands. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/velryby1.jpg?timestamp=1590256991 https://english.radio.cz/greenpeace-call-czechs-help-save-whales-8071708 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
