He has helped me deliver my clients unparalleled wildlife encounters both on land and underwater and has always maintained the utmost professionalism even in the face of unexpected weather and man-made changes. Ivan has always stayed one step ahead of any scenario, ensuring that my clients experience and itinerary is not interrupted. I could not have succeeded in Africa without Ivan's support!”

An estimated 73 million sharks are killed each year (that works out to more than 10,000 sharks per hour)

 

It is estimated that 90 percent of large sharks have been wiped out regionally.

 

No national or international laws or treaties exist to prohibit the sale of shark fin.

 

Sharks are perceived to be vicious killers, but humans are not on the sharks’ menu.
