SHOAL Phase One report released
SHOAL’s Phase One report showcases some of SHOAL’s main achievements since the initiative’s conception in 2019. Inside, you can learn about the suite of programmes across five continents that we have launched, the development of two new NGOs we’ve been instrumental in helping with, the SOS: Support Our Shoal campaign we’ve rolled out to provide a reliable and trustworthy mechanism for the aquarium hobby to engage in conservation, and much, much more.
The report draws attention to our brilliant Local Action Partners and Strategic Partners, and shines a light on the stories surrounding the search for the fat catfish and the reintroduction to the wild of the golden skiffia.
“We are proud that we are recognised globally in conservation circles as an important actor in freshwater species conservation, that we have established programmes across five continents, and that we have built powerful partnerships with leading organisations who have been and will continue to be instrumental in helping us achieve our goals of protecting and restoring freshwater habitats and conserving the most threatened freshwater species globally”.
There is, of course, much work to be done. This first phase is just the start of a strategy of work leading up to 2032, all efforts of which will support the achievement of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s New Global Framework for Managing Nature Through 2030, the UN Decade of Restoration, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals targets
