The 65th meeting of the International Whaling Commission (IWC) will begin on 15 September in Portoroz, Slovenia.
Pro-conservation countries and organisations are once again preparing to take on Japan and other pro-whaling nations.
The fight will be over the integrity of the global commercial whaling moratorium that has spared tens of thousands of whales from the harpoon since 1982.
Top priorities for organisations such the Humane Society International (HIS) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) include urging whale-friendly governments to increase pressure for stronger protection for whales and turn back efforts to dilute the worldwide commercial whaling moratorium.
