The Oceans are the largest ecosystems of this planet and the natural balance of the chain of life in the oceans is about to change drastically. Fish stocks will be exhausted by 2050. Few fleets catch using sustainable practices.

In the year 2050 the CO2 level in the atmosphere as well as surface waters of the ocean will be double compared to the pre-industrial era.

The Rainforest is the second-largest natural ecosystem on the planet and the destruction of the forest is happening at an incomprehensible rate. Corporations are stealing in the name of business, ancient trees are logged illegally and with them goes the whole ecosystem. Thousands of species are destroyed due to unsustainable consumption.

Soya and palm oil are the largest rainforest killers. A recent report in scientific journal Nature (23rd March 2006) warned that 40% of the Amazon will be lost by 2050 if current trends in agricultural expansion continue, threatening biodiversity and seriously contributing to climate change. The soy is shipped to Europe, where it is fed to animals that are then turned into fast food products like chicken nuggets. Current economic trends are assisting and contributing to this crime.

Estimates put the wild Chinese tiger population at between 10 - 30, while approximately 60 survive in Chinese zoos.

We need to think of ways in which we can change our attitude and behaviour for everyone's benefit. Zero deforestation is an urgent priority if we want to save for the future the last remains of the Amazon. Developing global sustainable economic business practices, driven by environmental friendly policy change, powered by a highly aware global consumer is what we need now.

Whale of a Time is a great way to make a difference and support the growing wave of change that needs to happen on this planet now.

Whale of a Time is an organisation that organises creative workshops and events on environmental issues. Our aim is to raise awareness to live in a sustainable way and in harmony with all species including our own on this planet.

Richard Yeoward, former Vice Chair WWF, said about Whale of a Time, "Conservation works best when the people are involved."

Mike (10) said, “I think that this workshop was amazing. I love moulding clay! Thank you!”

We're always looking for creative people who would like to venture into the world of harmony and peace together creating a meaningful message through art, music, dance, poetry, film, writing etc. by joining the Whale of a Time Community as a Whale of a Time Artist, starting a school project on conservation, organising a campaign with your friends, by becoming a Whale of a Time Volunteer or by making a donation, whatever it may be – it’s all about having a whale of a time and being happy.
