In the Philippines, US AID's conservation via tourism model has found success with Whale Sharks.
This quote from a local fishermen sums it up and provides a bit of hope in the bad news world of the big blue.
“In the next ten years, if we continue to protect whale sharks and its habitat, I see more people like me benefiting from it,” said Abe (Abelardo Llave).
It took a lot of work to get here though, so great job all involved including those at AID and the World Wildlife Fund and the fishermen. Thanks!
