Jaws the two of us
Protect Sharks from illegal shark trading for one week
For over 400 million years, sharks have gracefully swum through our world's oceans, acting as both guardians and regulators of intricate marine ecosystems. Positioned at the top of the oceanic food chain, they play a vital role in maintaining the delicate balance of life beneath the waves. But despite their ancient lineage and significant role, sharks are now in peril.
Driven by a surge in international demand, especially for their fins, these creatures face threats from over-poaching, shark finning, and ocean pollution. In India, unchecked hunting combined with the lucrative allure of the shark trade – propelled by cultural values and backed by influential industries – is eroding their numbers at an alarming rate. Even the young aren't spared, with juvenile pups often caught inadvertently.
This card helps to fund local initiatives to protect and educate. By shedding light on the incalculable value of sharks, the aim is to pivot the public's perception and rally fishing communities around a shared vision: preserving apex predators to ensure the health of oceans and safeguarding livelihoods. Focus is especially sharp on the endangered Whale Sharks and Scalloped Hammerhead Sharks, two species that carry a weighty significance in our marine world.
Use our editor to write a message for your loved one.
We’ll print your message on the inside of the greetings card so your gift is ready to be given.
Then we’ll call up our favourite postie to hand deliver your impact to your loved one.
Our model’s a little different - we work with impact partners on the ground to keep things transparent and effective. These partners are local community organisations and small charities who can get your impact action done in the most efficient way. And rest easy knowing these partners are thoroughly vetted each year to make sure your impact is truly making a difference.
Now for the best part: seeing your impact in action! About 6-12 months after you send your impact, we’ll pop you (and your recipient if you’ve given us their email) an update. This could include text, images, and videos showing how your thoughtful impact has helped transform lives. Who knew giving could feel so good?
