Alive mutilated off their fins , then thrown back to the sea failing to death, corpses strewing paradise sea bottoms are those of young sharks, too young sharks ! The last remaining sharks ! For sure shark fins soup consumers are not implicated in this disgusting duty. They prefer hiring, for a handle of dollars, indigenes unaware of the consequences and whose would be the first to cry for their devastated eco-systems.

Pictures opposite have been taken in the South-East of Misool. These pictures are all the more painful as they concern a No Take Zone granted to the Misool Eco Resort by the local populations as a counterpart to jobs and returns out of the building works on Batbitim and further economic feed-backs out of the run of the Resort..
 

The sea is wide and populations sparse in a such insulated area in the world. We need voices to make people acknowledge than respect the signed agreements.
Precious Planet’s aim is to finance a team of Park Rangers hired within the local population. These rangers will not only be in charge of the enforcement of the No Take Zone but also the pioneers of a long term mission for prevention and protection of the endangered species of the area.
