Hello, My name is Riah and I'm currently on a gap year interning at Hong Kong Shark Foundation. The following year I plan to study Environmental Sustainability and Management in the UK. I want to help raise awareness about shark conservation in Hong Kong and the negative impacts of shark fin soup.

100 million sharks are killed for their fins and more than 270 million are killed annually. A decline in the apex predator population can also lead to severe environmental consequences. A continuous decrease of shark populations can result in degradation and loss of biodiversity in marine ecosystems. In other words, a decline of sharks would lead to a changes in populations in other fisheries. This would not only have a cascade of environmental impacts but can also affect the global economic and food security. There are no longer any sharks in Hong Kong due to overfishing.

This is a call to action! Please help save sharks by donating to support Hong Kong Shark Foundation to raise awareness on shark cruelty and the importance of their presence in our delicate marine ecosystem.
