MARINE MAMMALS are some of
the world’s most intelligent and
graceful creatures, and many are
faced with extinction.

Now, increasing numbers are
perishing, even though the majori-
ty of their deaths are preventable.

The Body Shop, a skin and hair
product store, is joining forces
with the World Society for the
Protection of Animals (WSPA) to
help raise funds and awareness to
help Canada’s marine mammals.

From july 28 until the latter part
of August, Canada’s 88 Body
Shops will dedicate their store
front windows to posters and
displays to alert the public about
the situation faced by marine
mammals. They will also donate
$2 for each “Wishing | Could
Be...Forever in the Deep Blue
Sea’’ T-shirt sold. to WSPA.

The money raised will be used
to establish a 24-hour telephone
hotline for reporting stranded
marine mammals and to train
people in proper rescue tech-
niques,

WSPA is also planning to launch
an education program to teach
lifesaving techniques for freeing
marine mammals that have
become entangled in fishing gear.
