Listen to conservation scientist Hollie Booth explain what happened when fishermen in Indonesia were paid to release sharks caught up in their nets.
Salah satu proyek di Indonesia memperkenalkan skema ‘imbalan untuk melepaskan’ yang mendorong nelayan untuk menyelamatkan tangkapan sampingan hiu dan pari.
How one project in Indonesia introduced a pay-to-release scheme that encourages fishers to save shark and ray bycatch.

The true cost of marine conservation often falls on vulnerable coastal communities. Can a ‘beneficiary pays’ approach protect both endangered species and the communities dependent on them?
