SHOAL fills a significant gap in conservation: to deliver urgent and impactful conservation for the world’s most threatened freshwater species. Suffering from decades of neglect, freshwaters are at the sharp end of Earth’s biodiversity crisis, with many thousands of freshwater species threatened with extinction. Freshwater fish and amphibians are the most threatened vertebrate groups.

It is only through ambitious, collaborative conservation that we can hope to bring these species back from the brink. Conserving these highly threatened species will improve water quality and human health, and catalyse further ecosystem services that will benefit the wider environment and provide greater food security for the millions who depend on freshwater fish as their primary source of protein.

 

The time is NOW to take meaningful action:

Join the SHOAL today and be part of the global movement to save the world’s freshwaters:
for SPECIES, for HABITATS, for COMMUNITIES.
