Didn't see any U.S. MSM media reporting on this. timesofmalta.com - UN conference on loss of animal and plant species opens in Japan Personally, I think their goals in the last few paragraphs are pretty weak. Eighteen years of failure... pretty depressing.
Oh the irony - Loss of Animal species, eh? Do you think there'll be any of THIS particular species left . . . . you know . . . . after all their "research" is done? Maybe they could do "research" on their own research fleet operators ... THAT'd certainly increase the whale species chance of survival. There I go, thinking again. .
