🦈 A good day for #sharks at @CITES. The proposals "will forever change how the world’s ocean predators are managed and protected." says @SARRInitiative partner @WCSsharks. @WWFLeadWildlife
The vote in favour of Proposal 37 has been swiftly followed by a consensus decision in favour of Proposal 38 - so that's a recommendation to put Hammerhead #sharks on #CITES Appendix II in addition to all Requiem sharks #CITESCoP19 #ForNature

Oceanic sharks and rays are vital to a healthy #ocean and – in turn – the well-being of people, too. But we're losing them. Since the 1970s, oceanic shark & ray populations have plummeted by 71%. 👉 We need to take action #ForALivingPlanet

Whether under water or on land, over 1/2 of all threatened species need proactive recovery measures to prevent extinctions! @SARRInitiative we founded with @ElasmoProject, @jcu & @WCSocean aims to do exactly that & catalyse a bigger 🌊 of recovery efforts for sharks & rays🦈
Over half (57%) of threatened species would need dedicated recovery actions to prevent extinction. India and Nepal have succeeded in reversing the precipitous decline of the greater one-horned rhino 🦏 find out how: https://t.co/QCHeqnQJvz
