GRAPHIC WARNING // The demand for shark fins remains one of the greatest threats to shark populations around the world and they’re being killed at a highly unsustainable rate. Sharks are vital actors in the marine food web, with a growing body of research showing alarming imbalance in ecosystems where shark populations have declined. In November, @CITES delegates will gather in Panama and vote on which animals deserve worldwide legal trade protection. Our message to them is clear: requiem sharks must receive the global protection they need to survive. Visit the link in bio to let the world leaders know that sharks need their votes. #cites4sharks #citescop19
