The list of countries where sawfish are extinct now includes China, Iraq, Haiti, Japan, Timor-Leste, El Salvador, Taiwan, Djibouti and Brunei. The study, published in Science Advances, also identified eight nations where urgent action could make a big contribution to saving the species through conservation efforts.image copyright"While the situation is dire, we hope to offset the bad news by highlighting our informed identification of these priority nations with hope for saving sawfish in their waters," said Helen Yan of SFU.

Cool fish

hellohistoria The comments on this show how absolute garbage people have become. It's gone from 'oh that's awful' to 'are they really?' to straight up 'I don't care'. Maybe one day 99% of animals can die and we can just have a ten page book to teach children what animals are.

I’m not even going to read the article, but my guess is the Chinese eat them or think they have magical healing powers? Am I right?

Chinese probably want them for trimming their bushes 🤬

Wow BBC, calling them hedge trimmers. What if they're sensitive about their looks, that could be quite offensive. 😏

Well I hope they act now.

How are they able to predict numbers given how vast the oceans are? 🤔

Terrible

And I need to care why?

Would mankind extint without vaccines ?

They run out of hedges on the sea floor? Plenty work for them in my garden if they want
