The conservationists in Indonesia who are saving leopard sharks from extinction meet at 101 East.
In the Raja Ampat archipelago of Indonesia, there were once numerous leopard sharks.
Only 20 adults remain in these pristine waters as a result of commercial fishing and the lucrative shark trade, which has nearly eliminated the population. A brand-new project aiming to rewild leopard sharks is now being led by marine biologists. Before being released into their natural waters, captive sharks are carefully raised, taught how to hunt, and closely monitored.
