dc.description | Over 200 species of sharks, rays, and chimaeras are found in Philippine waters, but more than half of these species are facing extinction due to habitat degradation, bycatch, and illegal trade. Worse, despite the urgent need to protect them, about 70 percent of all sharks, rays and chimeras remain an unprotected. This is the reason why the need for collective action has never been more urgent, nongovernment organizations pushing for shark and rays protection and conservation said, as they spearheaded the launch in Puerto Princesa City, Palawan the Shark Conservation Week (SCW) 2025 from July 17 to 22. | en |
