As environmentalists, our hope is that the prestige of the Oscar received by the The Cove can progress the continuation of the Oceanic Preservation Society’s mission. As can be seen in The New York Times article, “Oscar Winners Try to Keep Whale Off Sushi Plates,” this accolade can bring renewed pressure and shed light upon this unnecessary practice of slaughtering both dolphins and whales.
Richard F. Schaden, Founder of Beyond The Edge is recognizing the award winning film, The Cove by matching donations to the Oceanic Preservation Society. Find out more about Beyond The Edge’s donation matching initiative.
