Cristina Zenato Instagram – “It all started as an act of love towards the sharks I knew; seeing them suffer made me want to help them by removing the hooks they showed up with. Little did I know it would inspire people to want to help sharks all around me and start a conversation about how vulnerable sharks are from the presence of humans.
Each hook and each shark in turn became ambassadors for the voiceless ones, they raise awareness towards the plight of sharks that are invisible to our attention and mostly our care.
It’s a small hook that started a big conversation on how shark conservation goes beyond the hook itself and enters the world of food choices, legislation, land (yes land) development and consumerism.
For each hook removed there is the hope for a better understanding that as individuals we have the power to change the world around us.
