Shark Savers and WildAid billboard campaign
Here is a great way to take action for sharks. Shark Savers and WildAid have teamed up to create a new campaign in China aimed at stopping the ugly and destructive practice of shark finning.

For $100 this billboard will stay in place for a year. See more details at this link:
