BREAKING: The IUCN Species Survival Commission Shark Specialist Group has released a new report on the global conservation status of sharks and their relatives. portals.iucn.org/library/node/5…

This report represents the most up-to-date information from more than 158 countries and territories, and is the work of a team of 353 international scientific and conservation experts. In the 20 years since the first status report, much has changed for sharks, rays and chimaeras

The breadth of research topics has expanded, mirroring the inclusion of a greater diversity of species, and attention is being trained on the emerging threats and the accelerating global changes to aquatic ecosystems.

While most people who think about shark conservation think primarily about the global trade in shark fins, the global trade in shark meat is larger in volume and value, impacting different species and involving different markets.

The IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group Global Status of Sharks, Rays, and Chimaeras is a landmark report bringing together the expertise of 353 scientists from 115 countries. This is the leading resource on the state of this group, so be sure to read more on this here: saveourseas.com/the-iucns-repo…
