making a difference


This week the Humane Society International asked if they could use my shark images for two projects next month. www.hsi.org


First is for the Jane Goodall Institute China project web site in which the Humane Society Internationals shark education project will have its own sub-site under http://www.genyuya.org.cn/ JGI China is currently revamping this website and the new one will include interactive features attractive to young students. Inaddition the images will appear in a one-page leaflet and 500 posters.

Second, is an Earth Day event: The Humane Society International will be displaying photos of sharks (24’ x 34’ or 15’ x 25’ ) at the Beijing Zoo on April 23, Saturday. The Beijing Zoo attracts tens of thousands visitors a day. We’ll have a table with No Shark Fin brochures & photos of sharks.


Its an honor to have my images used in these campaigns. I hope they evoke an emotional response that leads to positive change in terms of the shameless killing sharks just for their fins.
