Please save the Speartooth Shark!

for the Speartooth Shark

Critically Endangered

By Edward, age 7

The Speartooth Shark is one of Australia's rarest sharks. It lives in muddy rivers where the river meets the sea in northern Australia. Today, there are not many left because people have damaged their homes, polluted the water, and some sharks are accidentally caught in fishing nets. They need our help! We should put rubbish in the bin, use less plastic and join river clean-up days.
