Fantastic news from one of our conservation projects! After 22 years of work to raise the profile of this damaging trade, Thailand, the world’s largest exporter of seahorses, is ending seahorse exports until it can address the threats they pose to wild populations.
Abandoned fishing nets are killing marine life, but a collaboration between ZSL and global carpet tile manufacturer Interface tackles this growing problem in some of the world’s poorest coastal communities by recycling them into carpet tiles.
More than 100 tonnes of discarded nets have been collected to date by Net-Works – that’s enough to stretch more than two times around the world – providing fishing communities with an additional income and an incentive to protect their oceans long term.

Excitement building here in Johannesburg ahead of the 17th edition of CITES CoP, the world's most important conference on combatting the illegal wildlife trade. ZSL has a team of conservation experts on the ground here in Jo'burg so keep your eyes peeled for updates as the event gets underway!
"If we want to save elephants, we have give up those few trinkets and statues and make a commitment to closing our domestic ivory markets."
The UK government has proposed plans to ban modern ivory sales in the UK. ZSL welcomes this progress, but we think there is still much more to be done.
Listen to Prof. Jonathan Baillie, ZSL's Director of Conservation, talking about the news and why we need to take the economic value out of ivory.
Live now - Watch the Time for Change event, with HRH The Duke of Cambridge giving an address at The Shard in London, alongside Philanthropist Dr Haruhisa Handa, from The Park Hyatt Hotel, Tokyo and CITES Secretary-General John Scanlon, from The Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg. ZSL’s Director of Conservation, Jonathan Baillie will be representing ZSL at the event.
The simultaneous event in London, Tokyo and Johannesburg will deliver powerful conservation messages and calls to action ahead of the opening of the CITES conference, when the world’s attention will be focused on tackling the burgeoning illegal wildlife trade.
