Greenpeace activists protest outside the Japanese embassy in Bangkok, calling on Japan to vote in favour of measures to protect marine species. The protest took place as delegates meet in Bangkok for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Some 166 nations are participating in the meeting that will end on 14 October. Japan has consistently sidestepped motions to implement protection measures for marine wildlife.
