Netted in illegal wildlife trade: Sharks of India

05/04/2024

TRAFFIC and WWF-India have released a new factsheet – it represents findings on the illegal trade of sharks in India spanning from January 2010 to December 2022.

“The demand for shark fins and meat is a major driver of the global shark fishery. Shark fins are the most sought-after shark product used to make ‘shark-fin soup,’ a delicacy”

Dr Merwyn Fernandes, Associate Director of TRAFFIC’s India Office

“Netted in illegal wildlife trade: Sharks of India”, a new factsheet recently released, aims to sound the alarm about India’s illegal shark trade and highlight ongoing threats and conservation concerns.
