We did it! Thanks to YOU, the Obama Administration kept its promise to 
save whales at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) talks. As a 
result, the IWC was unable to lift the ban on commercial whaling!

As I sat in a stuffy meeting room in Agadir, Morocco with delegates and 
representatives from other nations, I knew I wasn't alone in working to 
help save the whales. I had more than 1.5 million passionate people, 
like YOU, with me there in spirit supporting the whales and standing up 
to tell the President that they deserve to be saved, not slaughtered.

While the gathering nations failed to implement new plans for whale 
conservation, I'm pleased that our President and his team stood their 
ground in the end, thanks to your efforts.

This year, the best we could do was preventing the IWC from rolling back 
protections for whales. Next year, we need to apply even more pressure 
so the IWC will close dangerous loopholes that have allowed Japan, 
Iceland, and Norway to continue killing whales.

Thank you for all your support. The whales are breathing a big sigh of 
relief!

For the whales,
