Malaysia is a major importer of shark fins for the luxury shark fin soup trade. This trade is unsustainable and is leading to the destruction of shark populations globally. We call on Malaysia Airlines to join 26 airlines including Singapore Airlines and Air Asia in making a statement for ocean sustainability and saying no to transporting shark fins on all aircrafts.
Why is this important?
Sharks are threatened worldwide, largely driven by the shark fin trade. As many as 100,000,000 sharks are being killed each year.
Airlines play a major role in allowing import and export of illegal, unregulated, and unreported seafood products like shark fin.
Twenty-six other major air carriers have said they will not ship shark fin. Help save the world's and Malaysia's sharks by stopping this unsustainable trade.
