One Year Ago Today!

Shark Stanley in Bangkok in front of all his global supporters

It has been one year since the shark and manta ray proposals passed in committee at CITES in Bangkok, Thailand. They would pass in plenary three days later, making the protections final. 10,000 of you from 135 countries helped Shark Stanley in this effort, photographing yourself to represent the people around the world who want to see sharks protected. Thank you again to all of you who participated, especially Shawn and Mary from WildAid Shark Savers and Guy and Andrea from Manta Trust.

One year ago we were in Bangkok with @MantaTrust @WildAid and @pewenvironment to protect sharks at #CITES http://t.co/XcLrwbgVND

Keep an eye on Shark Stanley.com because he will be launching a new campaign to protect sharks in the coming months and he will need your help again!
