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?
