Shark Fin Soup Billboard
Shark Savers

Basketball star Yao Ming has teamed up with the conservation group WildAid to save the world's shark population. Yao Ming is featured in a new public service announcement (PSA) which depicts the soup and what the shark has to go through for the soup.

Fins from over 70 million sharks a year are used for shark fin soup with the majority of the sharks being finned and then dumped overboard.

If after watching the PSA you feel the need to do something ... you can. Go to Shark Savers and For just $100 you can fund a "Say 'no' to shark fin soup" bus stop billboard featuring basketball star Yao Ming.
