SHOAL exists to fill a significant gap in the global conservation narrative: to deliver urgent and impactful conservation action for the most world’s threatened freshwater species. Suffering from decades of neglect, freshwaters are at the sharp end of the Earth’s biodiversity crisis. They have been polluted, exploited, degraded, drained, dammed, diverted and destroyed, leaving many thousands of species that live in them threatened with extinction. Freshwater fish compete only with amphibians – another freshwater-dependent taxa – for the unwanted title of most threatened taxonomic group. It is only with ambitious, collaborative conservation work that we can hope to bring these species back from the brink. That is SHOAL’s job.
Join the SHOAL today and be part of the global movement to save the world’s freshwaters:
for species, for habitats, for communities.
