Global Biodiversity in Crisis: How Sea Shepherd is Contributing to the Solution
The WWF’s Living Planet Report 2024 shows a sharp decline in global biodiversity, with wildlife populations down 69% since 1970. Freshwater ecosystems are the hardest hit, showing an 83% decline. Marine biodiversity is also severely affected, primarily due to overfishing and illegal fishing. Sea Shepherd has been actively fighting to protect marine life for over 40 years, taking action to preserve species like the vaquita and monitoring krill overfishing in Antarctica. This situation highlights the urgent need to act now to save our oceans and the creatures in them.
