PANAMA CITY, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A groundbreaking decision has been taken today by world governments that promises to turn the tide for shark conservation, with 54 species of shark awarded increased protections by the 19th Conference of the Parties (CoP19) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

Key Points: 
  • "IFAW applauds governments for this groundbreaking decision to control the unsustainable global trade in shark fins and meat, a trade which has pushed some of these ecologically important predators to the brink of extinction," said Barbara Slee, IFAW's Senior Program Manager of International Policy.
  • "This vote can transform shark conservation, giving much needed protection for species that have long been overlooked," added Slee.
  • Combined with further shark and ray listing proposals to be voted on shortly, the three proposals would place nearly all shark species traded internationally for their fins under CITES oversight and controls, up from only 25% prior to CoP19.
  • At present there are few restrictions in place and most shark fisheries around the world have little to no management.
