ASCOBANS is nearly upon us

Its been a hectic week, I am just returning from Scotland where I have been meeting with the WDCS Scottish team, but we are also preparing for the forthcoming ASCOBANS meeting in Bonn, Germany.

And before anyone says anything, we are travelling by train. We get to work and minimise our carbon footprint at the same time .

However, the ASCOBANS meeting is important and WDCS is going to hold the parties to this agreement to account. We are not happy with some of them for their 'reluctance' to actually do something, rather than just talking about doing something. We shall keep you informed of what happens, but for the moment we are busy finishing our thoughts ready to engage for Europe's whales and dolphins.
