Made possible by amazing donors such as @PostcodeLottery 👏🐬 Congrats to the rescue team!

[ifaw @ifawglobal]

@ifawglobal's one-of-a-kind mobile dolphin rescue vehicle was used last week to rescue two dolphins stuck in shallow waters off of Cape Cod and released them safely at Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown. Read the full story by @CNN.

New @ifawglobal report calls on EU and Member States to increase enforcement capacity (especially at maritime ports!) and improve trade monitoring and controls for the implementation of @CITES listed species. #LimitTradeSaveSharks

[ifaw European Union @ifawEU]

[NEW!] report from IFAW suggests an alarmingly low level of enforcement given the scale of the EU trade in shark fins and meat. Implementation of @CITES protections will be critical in saving shark species from extinction. 🦈‼️ https://t.co/1ztHUpkAht

[Barbara Slee @BarbaraSlee_]

#SharkAwarenessDay aims to dispel the fear and raise awareness. Hereby raising awareness to the enforcement authorities putting an end to #illegaltrade in #sharkfins. #OperaciónShark: Seizure of 6.79 tons of fins by #Panama Buen trabajo!!

[Procuraduría General de la Nación @PGN_PANAMA]

Hoy a las 2:00 p.m. la Fiscalía Primera contra la Delincuencia Organizada llevará ante Juez de Garantías a 5 personas por delitos contra la delincuencia organizada y contra la vida silvestre, aprehendidos en #OperaciónShark, ubicando más de 6 toneladas de aletas de tiburón.

SPLENDID day for Europe and Nature!! Let's see what Trilogue negotiations will bring, but I guess the expected heatwaves across Europe will remind everyone of the importance to #RestoreNature

[Virginijus Sinkevičius @VSinkevicius]

We very much welcome the positive vote on Nature Restoration Law by @Europarl_EN!

We look forward to launch trilogues & conclude the agreement by end of the year.

The @EU_Commission remains fully committed to help finding balanced compromise solutions.

A good day for Europe!

It’s the most FIN-tastic week of the year! Welcome to Shark Week 2023. 🦈 We think the scariest thing about sharks is that approximately 50% of species are threatened due to habitat loss, pollution & overfishing. Sharks are critical in maintaining ocean ecosystem health!

[Seas At Risk @SeasAtRisk]

We are from all over the EU, standing outside the @Europarl_EN to call on ALL MEPS to vote in favour of the #NatureRestorationLaw tomorrow!

@CITES #AC32 indeed made a splash! #Sharks and #rays (Elasmobranchii spp.) were selected for the first time for the Review of Significant Trade (RST), to identify species that may be subject to unsustainable levels of international #trade https://t.co/dwzRgYaLCX

[The Consumer Voice @beuc]

There are no consumers on a dead planet. the EU Parliament must #RestoreNature when they vote this week! It's certainly not the time to backpedal on #EUGreenDeal laws, as we argued recently: they can bring many benefits to nature, consumers and businesses alike. #EPlenary

[Barbara Slee @BarbaraSlee_]

Geen voedsel zonder natuur.
Geen handel op een dode planeet.
Geen strijd tegen de klimaatcrisis zonder natuurherstel.
