In November 2001, the Whale
Conservation Coalition of Japan was founded with anti-whaling non-profit
organizations (NPO). This coalition comprises: Dolphin and Whale Action
Network, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), Greenpeace Japan
and Japan Whale Conservation Network as the core members, having Ms Naoko
Funahashi (who is representative of IFAW in Japan) as director of the
coalition.
As our specific activity, we will send out information by using
newsletters, also hold seminars and meetings about whales and their
conservation.
