Shark fin soup campaignReducing demand for shark fin soup is the most important thing we can do to protect sharks from being driven to extinction. Shark fin soup consumption has long been traditional in Asian culture, but until fairly recently it was reserved for the wealthy few. As the middle class has grown in China and other Asian communities, so has consumption. Traditionally associated with status, wealth, and health, shark fin soup is now a must-have at many weddings, business dinners, and banquets. This demand has created the unsustainable, virtually unrestrained killing of sharks. An estimated 73 million sharks a year are killed for the shark fin trade. Shark Savers’ Shark Fin Soup campaign informs, encourages different perspectives, and persuades consumers to stop eating the soup. Shark Sanctuary Program: Protecting our Remaining Shark PopulationsSharks are among the most essential animals on the planet and yet they are being systematically destroyed for a non-essential purpose: shark fin soup. While our Shark Fin Soup Campaign focuses on reducing this demand, it is imperative that we also act quickly to protect shark populations that still remain. Shark Savers is working to establish Shark Sanctuaries: marine areas where sharks are fully protected by strong laws and enforcement and with the support and cooperation of local communities. Our program addresses both economic and environmental considerations, creating Shark Sanctuaries that are viable because they will produce a tangible economic benefit to local populations and provide sustainably financed enforcement of fishing regulations. Die Stimme der Haie: Interessensvertretung in den MedienAls eines der am meisten gefürchteten und verleumdeten Tiere auf diesem Planeten benötigen die Haie eine eigene Stimme. Genau diese Aufgabe übernimmt Shark Savers.Wir konzentrieren unsere Bemühungen darauf, negativen Presseberichten entgegenzuwirken, Haie in ein positives Licht zu rücken und das wahre Gesicht der Haie zu zeigen. Zusätzlich dazu informieren wir die Öffentlichkeit über haispezifische Themen und schaffen einen kollektiven Rückhalt zum Schutz der Tiere. Da für jede unserer Kampagnen eine Unterstützung durch die Medien und Graswurzelbewegungen essentiell ist, stellen unsere "Stimme der Haie" Anstrengungen einen wichtigen Bestandteil für alle unsere Aktivitäten dar. |
