Podcast appearances and mentions of pete bethune

¿Pirata ecologista o ecoterrorista? El activista ambientalista canadiense Paul Watson se ha ganado varios apodos por sus operaciones de saboteo contra barcos balleneros en los océanos del mundo. RFI vuelve sobre décadas de activismo de Watson, preso en Groenlandia a raíz de una petición de extradición de Japón. "Me han llamado de muchas formas. Me dijeron 'ecoterrorista', pero nunca trabajé para Monsanto. En 2014, un juez federal estadounidense me tildó de 'pirata' y no me acusó de ningún cargo. ¡Y saben qué?, para mí es un orgullo!”, bromeaba Paul Watson en 2023 durante un encuentro con el público en Francia.La pasión por Watson por los océanos empezó desde temprana edad. Creció en Saint Andrew by the Sea, una ciudad portuaria del este de Canadá, fue guardacostas a los 18 años, y trabajó luego en la marina mercante. En 1971, participó en la campaña contra los ensayos nucleares en Alaska y luego fue uno de los miembros fundadores de la ONG ecologista Greenpeace. Pero las acciones de la organización eran demasiado tibias según Watson.“Creó la organización Sea Sheperd (pastor del mar) con una visión de intervencionismo agresivo, porque interfiere físicamente, pero no violenta porque no dañamos a nadie en el proceso”, explica Cristina Gimeno Luna, representante de la Fundación Paul Watson en España.Desde entonces, el activista marino asumió una línea de mano dura para impedir la caza de las ballenas. A pesar de sus 73 años, el canadiense que sus amigos llaman Capitán Paul Watson, no ha dejado de recorrer los mares para interceptar barcos balleneros.En 2012 por ejemplo un barco de la organización que dirigía entonces, Sea Shepherd, libró una verdadera batalla naval contra el Nisshin Maru, un buque-factoría japonés de más de 120 metros que pescaba cetáceos en el santuario de ballenas del océano Austral. Los activistas lograron entonces impedir que el ballenero se abasteciera en combustible en alta mar. Enfrentamientos como aquello terminaron varias veces con barcos averiados. En total se le atribuye a Watson una decena de buques balleneros ilegales saboteados en puertos, varios buques embestidos en alta mar, cientos de redes confiscadas y más de 250 operativos en los mares del mundo.Fuga en altamarEstas acciones le valieron varias demandas judiciales. En 1997, fue condenado en ausencia en Noruega por el saboteo de un barco pesquero en 1992. En 2012, Watson fue detenido en Alemania, a petición de Costa Rica, tras impedir las operaciones de un barco que pescaba aletas de tiburón. No sin disfrazarse con una peluca, Watson se fugó y desapareció varios meses en aguas internacionales a bordo de un barco. En julio de 2024 sin embargo, fue detenido en Nuuk, capital de Groenlandia tras una notificación roja de Japón a través de Interpol. El país asiático, que aún autoriza la pesca de ballenas, lo busca por un operativo anti caza de ballenas de un barco japonés en 2010.“Sea Sheperd se encontraba en una campaña contra la caza de ballenas de Japón en el santuario de ballenas del Antártico, cuando el Ady Gil, uno de los barcos que participaba en la campaña, pero no era propiedad de la ONG, fue deliberadamente arrollado por un arponero japonés, causando el hundimiento de este barco”, cuenta Cristina Gimeno.Pete Bethune, capitán del barco decidió entonces abordar el arponero para presentar una queja por escrito al capitán y entregarle una factura de los gastos del barco, según describe la activista. “Paul Watson no le recomendó abordar el barco, pero Pete Bethune abordó el barco y fue arrestado. Fue llevado a Japon y realizó una supuesta confesión diciendo que era Paul Watson quien le había ordenado abordar el barco ballenero japonés”, detalla Cristina Gimeno.Bethune se retractó de sus acusaciones. Pero con base a esa confesión, Japon emitió en 2012 una notificación roja ante Interpol para pedir la detención de Watson. “La petición de arresto caducó dos veces y esta última vez, la han hecho de manera confidencial. Como no había notificación roja publica, Paul Watson decidió embarcarse en la nueva operación contra la caza de ballenas japonesa, la ‘Operation Kangei Maru', el nuevo buque ballenero japonés de procesamiento de carne de ballena, de 1300 toneladas. Paul Watson salió desde Dublín para interceptar al Kangei Maru y 14 miembros de las fuerzas especiales danesa y se lo llevaron arrestado por la orden de arresto de Japón”, lamenta Cristina Gimeno.Nuevas amenazas contra las ballenasA pesar de la moratoria sobre la caza de ballenas, la protección de las ballenas sigue siendo un reto ecológico. La caza de ballenas mata cada año a unos 1.200 ejemplares pese a estar desde 1986 bajo una moratoria, una medida que tres países rechazan: Japón, Noruega e Islandia.En el siglo XX, casi 3 millones de cetáceos fueron víctimas de los arpones, hasta que, en 1986, una moratoria internacional prohibió la caza de ballenas con fines comerciales. “Eso ha permitido en varias especies una recuperación bien evidente. El caso más emblemático es de la ballena jorobada. Casi todas las poblaciones se han recuperado bastante bien. En Australia se ha estimado que se recuperaron en niveles preexplotacion. Ya no están en la lista de especies protegidas en Australia”, observa en entrevista con Radio Francia Internacional el científico chileno Carlos Olavarría, experto en genética de ballenas, y asesor de varios gobiernos para la protección ballenera.“Eso mismo ha sucedido con la ballena azul. En Chile por ejemplo se ha recuperado de manera importante. Entonces la moratoria comercial fue una herramienta importante. Pero hay nuevos desafíos”, advierte Olavarría.La ofensiva diplomática de Japón para reanudar la cazaY cita: “La contaminación del medio ambiente marino, la contaminación acústica es otra problemática, el espacio que usamos en el mar y que afecta las rutas migratorias, el desarrollo de la acuicultura de las pesquerías: hay muchos animales que mueren enmallados. Entonces la moratoria no es suficiente”. Para enfrentar estos retos nuevos, el científico llama al establecimiento de áreas marinas protegidas.Otras especies además, aun están en peligro de extinción la ballena franca del Atlántico Norte, en ‘peligro crítico' desde 2020, según la clasificación de la Unión Internacional para la Conservacion de la naturaleza.A pesar de estas amenazas, Japón tratar de fracturar el consenso internacional sobre la protección de las ballenas. A finales de septiembre de 2024, en el marco de la Comisión Ballenera Internacional en Lima, un grupo de países africanos aliados de Japón sometieron un proyecto para levantaa la moratoria que protege a las ballenas, esgrimiendo el argumento de la seguridad alimentaria. Dicha propuesta no fue aprobada, pero demuestra las ambiciones de Japon por legalizar la caza comercial de ballenas.Escuchar el podcast completo:Entrevistas:>Carlos Olvarría, Director Ejecutivo, Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas Aridas y asesor de varios gobiernos en materia de protección marina.>Cristina Gimeno Luna, Representante de la Fundación Capitán Paul Watson en España.

On this podcast we have an uncomfortable conversation about the events on September 12. On that day, more than 1,400 Atlantic white-sided dolphins were killed on a beach in Eysturoy. We'll gather facts to help you understand exactly what happened, and then talk to our friend Runi Nielsen about what it all means, and what changes might be in store in the future. Then we end with a special message for a specific set of our first-time listeners. In the podcast, we promise links to a lot of older podcasts. So... here you go. This is our conversation with Runi Nielsen in 2014 about his anti-whaling activism. And here's part 2 of that conversation. In 2009, we did our first episode on Faroese whaling. We spoke to a researcher who studies whaling in small countries, and a Faroese public health doctor who advised certain people not to eat whale meat. You can find it here.  In 2015, we documented a hunt as it happened. We also spoke to Pete Bethune about why he changed his strategy to end Faroese whaling. And here's part 2 of that conversation.

Connecting with us from Costa Rica, Pete Bethune has committed his life to wildlife conservation.  Following his world record journey circumnavigating the world on a bio-fuel driven trimaran, Pete joined forces with Sea Shepherd in their fight to prevent whaling in Antarctica.  When Earthrace became low on fuel a Japanese whaling vessel took the opportunity to ram the boat with Pete and his crew still onboard which ultimately led to its sinking.  Following this, Pete boarded the Japanese vessel in a bid to present the captain with a bill for his boat.  Since that day Pete's story has led him to prison in Japan, leading special forces teams into hostile environments, producing a TV show called The Operatives, assisting governments in the fight against poachers and illegal fishing, shot at and even stabbed.  Pete doesn't claim to be a diver albeit he has 4-500 dives under his belt and an amazing story to tell.  For an adventure of a lifetime, you can get in touch with Pete and volunteer to become part of the team.

Was there a link between the brutal attacks on Sir Peter Blake and Captain Pete Bethune in Brazil? In his new documentary, The Garden of Evil, Larry Keating investigates.

Captain Pete Bethune is a Conservationist, a world record  holder, Producer of his own TV show “The Operatives”, author of two published books, public speaker, and founder of Earthrace Conservation.  He’s been shot at multiple times, incarcerated in Libya, held under armed guard in a Guatemalan Military camp, and spent 5 months in a maximum security prison in Japan. He was knifed in the chest while investigating wildlife smuggling in the Amazon.  In January this year while on patrol in a Costa Rican National Park he was bitten by the world’s deadliest pit viper, coming perilously close to losing his life.  His team has closed down 2 wildlife smuggling rings, and a number of illegal mining and illegal logging operations. They’ve patrolled many of the worlds greatest jungles while partnered with local Ranger teams.  They have caught countless vessels fishing illegally in marine protected areas, with many resulting in arrests, prosecutions, and confiscation of boat and catch.  Captain Bethune is currently based in Costa Rica where he runs a 45m ship, a K9 tracking unit, and a $4m military drone.  His  work is supporting local Ranger teams protecting marine and terrestrial National Parks.

Snake venom is a wily beast. It's packed with hundreds of toxins that can attack our blood vessels, muscles and nerves. That's why snake bites kill some 100,000 people each year. On today's show — dangerous snake bites and the bizarre way we make the only thing that can save you from them: antivenom. (Spoiler alert: it takes snake milkers and stables filled with horses.) We'll also look at the groundbreaking research that could eventually revolutionise all this. We speak to Captain Pete Bethune, snake venom researchers Dr. Christina Zdenek, Professor José María Gutiérrez, Dr. Laura Albulescu and snake milker Greivin Corales.  To read more about Pete Bethune's work: https://www.earthrace.net/  Our instagram is: science_vs Check out the transcript right here: https://bit.ly/3ffV8oE This episode was produced by Wendy Zukerman with help from Meryl Horn, Rose Rimler, Michelle Dang, Nick DelRose, and Taylor White.

Captain Peter Bethune is a published author, producer of The Operatives TV show, and public speaker. He is the founder of Earthrace Conservation. He works assisting countries in Asia, Central America and Africa with fisheries enforcement and anti-poaching.On Boxing Day, Pete was on a patrolling mission in the jungle of Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica when a fer-de-lance snake – the most deadly snake in Central America – bit him.Captain Pete is now out of hospital and joins us to talk of his experience.www.theDOC.nzwww.patreon.com/theDOCNZwww.twitter.com/patbrittenden

Kiwi conservationist Pete Bethune has walked out of a hospital in Costa Rica after a deadly snakebite almost claimed his life two weeks ago.He was bitten by the highly venomous Fer De Lance snake in a South American jungle just after Christmas.Initially fearing he would not make it out alive, Bethune managed a difficult three-hour trek, clambering and dragging himself through unforgiving terrain to reach his boat.Bethune told Tim Dower he is one happy camper to be alive and back on his ship."I gave myself a bit of a fright... when I first got bitten I thought I was a dead man, we were so far from being able to get out of that jungle in terms of distance. I know the history of the Fer De Lance snake - some people are dead in five minutes, some it might take four or five hours."By the time he got to a hospital, his left leg had swollen to at least double the size of his right after the viper sank its fangs into his lower calf.Bethune says there are ongoing issues, which include a bladder problem and muscle issue on his calf. However medical professionals expect both to clear up soon.

This week, a debate between Hans Hermansen and Pete Bethune on the contentious subject of Faroese whaling. The debate is hosted by our own Heri Simonsen and was aired live on Ras 2. It is our hope that forums like this will help interested listeners on both sides of the issue to better understand what people on the other side of the divide think.

This week, part two of our conversation with conservationist Pete Bethune. He founded Earthrace Conservation and hatched a plan to send hundreds of activists to the Faroes to interfere with whale hunts. He eventually abandoned the plan when he determined it would be counter-productive to his goals of ending Faroese whaling. In the second half of our conversation, Bethune talks about why he objects to the whale hunts and how he believes they might eventually end. He'll also talk about the moment when he started to really like the Faroese people. We'll end the show by standing outside and apologizing to a hotel.

This week, part one of our conversation with Pete Bethune. Bethune is a conservationist and animal rights activist. A couple of years ago, Bethune was preparing to assemble a group of 150 activists to patrol the beaches of the Faroe Islands and disrupt any whale hunts. But when Bethune traveled to the Faroe Islands to do some advance work, he abandoned those plans, even though he still strongly opposed the whale hunts. This week, Bethune talks about his first impressions of the Faroe Islands and what convinced him to change his plan to end Faroese whaling.
