The exploitation of the oceans is having severe consequences on nature. More than 80% of our oceans are overfished, with many of the coral-reefs slowly dying out, causing detrimental effects on ecosystems. SAVE actively supports for lasting change dealing with our oceans to maintain the variety of the unique life-forms.  Stop the extermination of bluefin tunaThe bluefin tuna, is a fascinating fish. Unlike other species of fish it can keep its body temperature even in frigid water at 27°C and thereby accelerates to a speed of 80 km/h. Unfortunately, only few people recognize its “life” as having value. It is often chased and killed, because it is as a market good, very expensive. SAVE is stepping up to help the bluefin, because the extermination of the "Ferrari of the seas" is imminent. More  Without sharks the sea will dieAlthough perfectly adapted to his living environment the shark plays an important role in the ecosystem, hardly a species of animal is hunted so pitilessly at present like the shark. Hundreds of millions end their lives every year. They end up as shark fin soup and dogfish, animal feed, fertilizer, etc. It is urgent to act, since as of today a third of all shark species are threatened or endangered. SAVE educates by calling for a ban on fining and sustainable fishing quotas. More  No more dolphin shows - No more dolphin drive huntsIn tiny, tiled mini-basins dolphins are isolated left to vegetate by themselves. There they must perform dangerous tricks and suffer controversial therapies. Because dolphinariums have performances non-stop, many dolphins are slaughtered every year in cruel hunts to recruit more of their performers. Dolphin hunters drive the animals into nearby bays, where whole families of dolphins are killed brutally by knives, iron hooks and spears. SAVE researches, investigates, and clarifies: for an end of the drive hunt and the closing of dolphinariums. More  Against commercial whalingWhales - the gentle giants of our oceans. They are still hunted used for fuel for lamps, shoe polish or ammunition while other products are made from their oil such as, candles, cosmetics or perfume. The method: explosive harpoons. They explode in the body of the whales and burst the beast from the inside. The whales do not die immediately but must surrender to a painful death lasting several hours. There is no good argument for whale slaughter - so help to stop it! More |
