Join the protest in London, Monday May 22nd, 10.30am-2.30pm

On May 22nd, campaigners are holding a protest outside of the European Bank's Annual General Meeting in London. The critically endangered western Pacific gray whales face extinction if the Bank backs oil giant Shell's plans to drill for oil and gas in their feeding grounds off Sakhalin Island.

Shell's Sakhalin II project in Russia's far east is the largest oil and gas extraction project in the world and they are seeking up to $300 million from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

Despite the warnings of scientists that this project could drive the whales to extinction, the European Bank looks set to back the project with public funds.

If we are to save the western gray whale it is absolutely vital that we persuade the EBRD not to finance the Sakhalin 11 project. We also need to convince Shell that the world will never forgive them if they put their profits before the future of the western gray whales.
