John,
Every single second, three sharks are meaninglessly slaughtered –
that’s 100 million a year. Scientists are warning that humans are driving
them to extinction. If we act now we can help reverse this tragedy before
it’s too late.
Countless sharks are being caught in horrific industrial fishing nets that
violently throttle any animal in their path, subjecting these amazing
creatures to an agonising death.
But our partners in Kenya – where shark numbers have plummeted – are
working around the clock to help these icons of the ocean thrive again!
With our support, they could do so much more like tracking shark
populations with drones and underwater cameras, training local fishers to
use shark-safe nets, and identifying safe breeding grounds for sharks to
rebuild their populations.
It could help turn the fate of Kenya’s sharks around – they just need the
cash to get started. Can you chip in to save the sharks and all our most
vulnerable species?

Marine biologists are raising the alarm: over a third of all shark species
are being pushed to the brink of extinction because of overfishing. It’s a
little-known tragedy that’s rapidly unfolding, and if we don’t do
something now we could lose some of the most amazing animals on the
planet.
Sharks are absolutely key for maintaining healthy ocean ecosystems.
Without them, fragile underwater networks could collapse entirely. And
these incredible creatures are even a major carbon sink! But when sharks
are removed from our oceans and killed, all the carbon they were storing
is released back into the atmosphere.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Local partners know that alternative
shark-safe fishing methods exist, they just need to get buy-in from
fishers. Which is why they’re gearing up to launch an ambitious
conservation project with local coastal communities in Kenya where sharks
are vanishing.
Together, we could help them get started buying critical equipment and
training local fishers to turn this tragedy into a conservation success
story. But they can’t do it alone.
John, let’s give sharks a fighting chance of survival. Can
you chip in to help save our most precious species?
