E16: Leveraging law for whales
 Whales-online speaks with Nicola Beynon, the Wildlife and Habitat Program Manager for Humane Society International in Australia. The Humane Society is a global organisation who is at the forefront of setting the agenda for international and domestic conservation policies in many parts of the world. As a global organisation they have specialized in using law to protect wildlife.
The most recent action they are involved in is a world first court case to force the Australian Government to face down Japan’s so-called scientific whaling programme in the Australian Whale Sanctuary in the Southern Ocean - a hunt that will be escalating to over 1000 whales in this next year. The Humane Society is pushing Australia to do something serious. Something that will stop the hunt.
