Anthony
Marr holds a science degree from the UBC and has worked as a field
geophysicist and an environmental technologist. In 1995, he became a full
time wildlife preservationist, which has brought him to India three times,
earning him the title of the "Champion of the Bengal Tiger" in the
Champions of the Wild TV series aired in 20 countries. As an anti-hunting
activist, he has conducted high profile campaigns in Canada for the bears
and seals, and been to Japan twice for the whales and dolphins. He is the
founder of Heal Our Planet Earth (HOPE) and is
currently on his fourth Compassion for Animals Road Expedition (CARE-4),
covering 40 states. He is also the author of Omni-Science.
Anti-Trophy-Hunting
In 1996, Anthony Marr, then a campaign director of Western Canada
Wilderness Committee, led a province-wide referendum campaign towards
banning bear hunting in BC. He personally performed a 12,000 km, 8-week,
50-city road tour to build a volunteer force which grew to 1,800-strong.
Anthony was dogged and harassed by large groups of hunters from city to
city (120 in Prince George), but generate some 150 newspaper articles,
which said, "... the highest profile Canadian animal rights campaign of
1996... led by Anthony Marr with extraordinary intensity, barn-storming
the province... stirring up emotions single-handedly from Vancouver to
Fort Saint John."
Anti-Whaling
Anthony Marr played an active part in combating Makah whaling in
Washington state. He also went to Japan twice to investigate whaling and
the whale meat trade and conduct anti-whaling missions. Through the action
he has taken a large collection of highly revealing photos of the various
aspect of the whaling industry which he made into a PowerPoint
presentation titled Know Thy Enemy
Save-the-Dolphins
While in Japan, Anthony also investigated the dolphin capture-slaughter
industry at Taiji and Futo, as well as conducted experimental
dolphin-saving operations, photos of which being also included in Know Thy
Enemy
Terminate the Canadian Seal Massacre
Anthony has been active in the anti-seal-massacre movement since the
mid 1990s, and is one of the leaders of the global anti-sealing movement.
He has organized, led and participated in many high profile anti-sealing
media events, including the Funeral Motorcade for the Seals. He has
also performed a 100-km Funeral March for the Seals from Mission to
Vancouver and Victoria.
Omniscientific Cosmology
Integrative Transcendence - the Science of Peace
When Anthony Marr was 33, he went camping solo in the Africa savannah,
sleeping under the stars amidst lions. What he brought back to Canada
three months later was a new philosophical system known as the
Omniscientific Cosmology, hailed as "original", "beautiful",
"fascinating", �formidable�, immensely logical" and �ground-breaking�.
Undercover Operations
Anthony Marr has performed undercover operations in the Chinatowns of
Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto, Ottawa, New York and San Francisco, as well
as in the convoluted enclaves of New Delhi and Calcutta, as well as the
dolphin-killing village of Taiji and the whaling port of Shimonoseki,
Japan. After the investigations, he led media into the enclaves in
question, which usually became high profile newspaper articles and TV
broadcasts. This highly popular media coverage forced the federal
government to pass and enact the WAPPRITTA wildlife protection laws within
months.
Deep-Rural-India Expeditions
Anthony Marr has led three deep-rural expeditions in India, to work
inside the tiger reserves and with the villagers who live in the buffer
zones surrounding the core areas. One of the strategies is to slow, halt
and reverse deforestation by introduction of solar cooking and biogas
technology to supplant wood-burning.
