Our Project
How we value the environment intricately ties into how we preserve and restore critical ecosystems and species. With over one-third of shark species endangered, coupled with the predominantly unfavorable portrayal they receive, a pressing need emerges for recalibrating the narrative surrounding sharks. Keystone Species Alliance, Earth Law Center, Saving Our Sharks Foundation, Mares de Mexico, BODAI, and Oceans Week México, are initiating a campaign aimed at shifting our human relationship with keystone species, particularly sharks. This campaign will delve into the diverse values inherent to sharks – economic, ecological, cultural, and intrinsic – to influence legal, policy, and conservation frameworks and public perspectives and partner with local governments to increase the protection and restoration of their populations and habitats. This effort seeks to underscore the indispensable role of sharks as keystone species, vital for upholding the well-being and harmony of the oceanic ecosystem.
Objectives:
- Strengthen and connect projects and programs to raise awareness and protect and restore marine ecosystems and water resources.
- Facilitate collaboration, cooperation, and coordination of blue projects.
