"Paul Watson risks life and limb in the fight to save whales and ocean life."
-Pierce Brosnan

Pierce Brosnan is a leader in global environmental causes, and has been a key participant in Sea Shepherd campaigns to protect marine mammals. With environmental journalist Keely Shaye Smith, he headed the international effort by the Natural Resources Defense Council to prevent corporate environmental destruction of Mexico's San Ignacio Lagoon, the last pristine breeding grounds of the Eastern Pacific gray whale. He also played a major role in the effort that ended France's atomic testing in the South Pacific.

Brosnan's documentary appeal of behalf of dolphin protection has been seen on theater and television screens around the world.

In 1997, Green Cross International President Mikhail Gorbachev presented him with the Environmental Leadership Award, citing him as "a truly committed leader whose bold actions and clear voice have been instrumental in marine mammal protection, as well as that of fragile ecosystems."

Brosnan recently starred in the film "Gray Owl," the true story of the extraordinary Canadian Indian whose adventurous life helped launch environmental activism.
