Hemos perdido casi dos décadas desde que se aprobó el reglamento europeo; la anguila europea desaparece. Ahora debemos detener su pesca junto a un plan social, restaurar sus hábitats y permeabilizar barreras y reforzar la lucha contra el tráfico internacional. www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/vigo...

La anguila está en peligro crítico de extinción
La pesca debe prohibirse de manera inmediata, reforzando todos los medios contra el furtivismo y compensando a los profesionales por los posibles cierres temporales

🦈 Over 1/3 of shark & ray species are at risk of extinction. On June 11, we’re launching a global coalition to stop it. Meet us at Auditorium Nautilus - La Baleine Green Zone #UNOC2025, Nice. It’s time to fight back for ocean life. #SharksAndRays #WWFMediterranean

Our latest #sharkscience paper maps the global shark product network—and the EU’s central, complex role in it. Read in #MarinePolicy www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @sdejuan.bsky.social @sharkcolin.bsky.social @nickdulvy.bsky.social @elasmona.bsky.social @iucnshark.bsky.social @csic.es
A large shark swims through a deep blue ocean background, facing the viewer from the right side. Overlaid text summarizes key aspects of the global shark trade: “Shark fin trade is centralized around Asia. Shark meat trade is broader and more complex. Europe and Latin America act as major redistribution hubs.” The composition contrasts the shark’s form with the clean, bold typography to highlight trade imbalances and geopolitical roles.

🦭 Once nearly extinct, the Mediterranean monk seal is making a comeback thanks to NGOs, scientists, governments & locals. But recovery brings new challenges: fishery conflicts & habitat loss. 🌊 ✅ Fair compensation & protected areas are key to lasting coexistence. 💙 #WWFMed #EndangeredSpeciesDay

Landet mehr kaltes Süßwasser im Nordatlantik, kommt der Wasseraustausch durcheinander und damit das Klima. Können wir etwas dagegen tun? Ja! #Klimaschutz muss endlich höchste Priorität haben! Wir brauchen viel mehr erneuerbare Energien. Lest hier die Studie nach: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
