An estimated 100 million sharks and rays die every year - as a result of fishing (whether as bycatch or for meat, skin etc.), the destruction of their habitat and the climate crisis. And this has fatal consequences: Because the large predatory fish ensure healthy fish stocks and are therefore essential for a balanced ecosystem.
Do you want to do something about species extinction? If you don't want to give up fish, then at least make sure you consume it sustainably. The WWF's fish guide can help you do this.
