Shark’s fin trade faces extinction

Stephanie Lai | 02/01/2014 | Macau Business Daily

Macau sellers of shark’s fin have felt a sharp decline in business volume last year, amid pressure from environmentalists and Beijing’s drive against conspicuous consumption by officials.

“Even though we are in the peak season for seafood shopping, from November to January – a period in which people usually buy some shark’s fin for Chinese New Year – we now have only one or two customers buying shark’s fin per month,” she said.

Yay! One of my favorite animals and perhaps this will draw attention to the Snow Leopard Trust http://www.snowleopard.org/ and Panthera http://www.panthera.org/content/tis-season-snow-angels both really amazing foundations.

Conservation leading to opening education for villagers...

love big cats, but i'm especially fond of the leopards...whether snow, clouded, or african or any of the other subspecies.

here's a list. sadly, many of the sub species are in great danger.

I finally saw Blackfish, what was even more disturbing was the expert panel, led by Jack Hanna, that CNN put together.
