Hello world,
Hammerhead sharks are often hunted for their fins, for shark fin soup. They are being over hunted, and will die out if action is not taken soon. Matt Rand is trying to prevent this. His organization, the Global Shark Conservation Pew Enviromentalist Group is trying to get them listed at CITIES. The Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species has saved other animals from extinction and will hopefully do the same by outlawing the trade of shark fins. They will have a hard time doing so, for sharkfin soup is popular, and no one likes sharks. I hope that the CITIES attendees can get over the shark prejudice and save these animals.
