(From variety.com) – Pierce Brosnan and wife Keely Shaye have joined with the Natural Resources Defense Council to win battles that include stopping the construction of a proposed salt factory on the Baja California peninsula, the last pristine breeding ground for the Pacific gray whale. Currently they and the NRDC are trying to stop the U.S. Navy”s deployment of a new sonar system, which they contend threatens marine mammals.
It’s a planet in peril, but Brosnan sees hope in increased activism. “Fifteen years ago, it was almost a smear to be called an environmentalist. Now, it is palpable in every sense of the word of what’s happening around us.
Pierce Brosnan is a leader in global environmental causes, and has been a key participant in Sea Shepherd campaigns to protect marine mammals. He is part of the Board of Advisors for Media and Arts.
