E24: CMS and the power of partnership for whales and dolphins

This week whales-online brings you an interview with Mr Robert Hepworth, Executive Secretary with the Convention for the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (also known as CMS), an important part of the United Nations family.

This interview is a rare opportunity to hear in detail the thoughts of one of the world’s real leaders in conservation. Rob is also a champion for a legitimate role for civil society in implementing real conservation in many areas of the world.

2007 is the United Nations Year of Dolphin and Robs enthusiasm about this celebratory year is clear. Again, he feels the development of partnership has been a key element of the campaign and it is justifiably proud about the growth of community level interest in protecting dolphins.
