MOSCOW, June 27 (Reuters) – Greenpeace campaigners held a protest vigil outside Credit Suisse First Boston’s Moscow office on Monday against its involvement in a Shell-led energy project in the Russian Far East which they say threatens rare whales.

Around a dozen protesters in orange jumpsuits paraded outside CSFB’s Moscow office with signs that read “Stop financing Sakhalin oil” and “Nature is worth more than oil.” Other similar protests were planned in London and New York. read more

By Tiago Soares

Sakhalin Island is located in Western Russia. It is closer to Tokyo than to Moscow. This small island has been a reason of dispute between Russians and Japanese for centuries.

In this part of the ocean there is not only a lot of fish- there are also natural oil deposits only comparable to the ones in the Middle East. Although the oil is not important to the gray whales, it does attract other terrible “predators” like Royal Dutch/Shell. read more
