"STOP FINNING"

1000 Kids' One Resolution for the New Year On 29th December 2015, we will call upon 1,000 children aged seven to 15, to convene at Resorts World Sentosa to make an important New Year resolution: To save sharks from extinction. Together with international and local celebrities, luminaries and politicians, 1,000 children will initiate the "I am the future, I will not eat shark fins" pledge in Singapore. The unanimity of the message by children from this ‘hot zone’ of shark fin consumption will echo loud and clear through national and international media. Over 73 million sharks are culled each year for the shark fin trade and other shark-related products. This is unsustainable. Some sharks are already regionally extinct in the waters of South East Asia. Sharks are the cheetahs and lions of the ocean; without them, the ocean will eventually collapse. Singapore is one of the biggest consumers of shark fins in Asia. As the regional centre for the shark fin trade, this project accentuates the solidarity of Singapore children, adults, and non-government organisations in one message, “I am the future, I will not eat shark fins”. Our children are our hope for healthier oceans. This is a definitive campaign for children to inspire the public in Singapore and the communities all over Asia to protect these sentinel animals from extinction. http://www.1000kidsonemessage.org
