of awi s founder christine stevens who agreed to support his japanese projects with the help of local wildlife conservation organizations in futo hardy ultimately convinced the lead dolphin hunter that dolphins were worth far more alive than dead the result was an ecotourism project that ended the futo dolphin hunts in 2002 attempting to change attitudes in taiji has proved to be far more challenging but hardy s work there laid the groundwork for campaigns that continue to this day hardy regularly attended the meetings of the international whaling commission and in his quiet yet forceful way made clear his views against commercial whaling he could always be relied upon to join group efforts against commercial whaling and was an active member of whalesneedus a coalition of us
