Last week, mako sharks earned the final vote confirming their CITES Appendix II listing at #CoP18, a critical protection for this endangered species' survival. I applaud RichardBranson and OceanUnite for responding to ShawnHeinrichs’ alert about #CITES4Sharks and advocating for Canadian Ministers jonathanwnv and cathmckennaottcen to switch their votes from “NO” to “YES” in favor of protecting the endangered mako. This is the power of voices from around the world speaking in unity for a healthy and abundant ocean and global leaders rising to put the planet before profit or politics. Learn more from SeaLegacy.
