If you’ve supported Project AWARE’s campaign, signed their shark petition or rallied shark support in your community – then this message is for you.
Today, we need your help. Please take a few moments and send a letter direct to CITES leaders asking them to vote “Yes” for sharks and rays this March.
What we do in the next few weeks could make a difference for 11 sharks and rays on the brink. Project AWARE is working with their partners, pounding the pavement harder than ever in the run up to March. We’re meeting with CITES leaders face-to-face to help influence the votes. More than 120,000 shark petition signatures you helped to collect are making a strong argument for change. Now you can send a letter direct to CITES leaders, insisting on international protections for these critical species.
As dive professionals, we know, Extinction is NOT an Option. CITES is the world’s largest, most effective wildlife conservation agreement in existence. Thank you for helping Project AWARE secure the trade protections sharks and rays deserve. www.projectaware.org
