LONDON (MarketWatch) — The World Conservation Union, or IUCN, is convening a new scientific panel to monitor the impact of the Sakhalin II offshore oil and gas project on the endangered Western Gray Whale population, the organization said in a statement Monday.
The Russian Far Eastern project, led by Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN), has come under the spotlight recently after a Russian watchdog said it was withdrawing an environmental license because of alleged ecological violations.
The international, independent panel will provide ongoing impartial advice to companies developing oil and gas reserves in the whale’s summer feeding grounds, focusing on Sakhalin II.
It follows consultation with the oil industry after a previous report, also under the auspices of IUCN, said the route of a Sakhalin II pipeline was endangering the animals. The Shell-led project announced later it was following the report’s recommendations and agreed to change the route. But environmentalists have continued criticizing the impact of the project on whales.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
