Shark's adaptive body design helped it to survive
all the massive extinctions

They play a key role in the maintenance of the

Ocean Ecosystem

They are killed on a commercial scale solely for

their fin soup popular in China 

Humans are killing 100 million sharks every

year!
 Manta Rays
 Large rays belonging to
the genus Manta

Anthropogenic threats
include pollution

entanglement in fishing nets

direct harvesting for their gills

• Manta Ray gills are sold in old Chinese
medicine stores 
• Chinese believe that manta ray gills
increase Blood Circulation, treat
injuries and can even cure Cancer!
 Kauai O'o
Lived in Subtropical forests
of Hawai

The causes of its extinction:

 1.Introduction of the Polynesian
rats and domestic pigs (by humans).
2.Habitat destruction.

Lab of Ornithology on 1987
Alarmingly high CO2 level that the Transport Companies don't
want you to see
Global
Warming is
NOT a small
thing!!

It has already
started taking
lives!
 Bramble Cay Melomys : 
Another Victim of Climate change
• Bramble cay is a small island located in the northern part of
Australia 
• Land area of Bramble Cay reduced from 4 hectares to 2.5
hectares due rising sea level.
•  Reduction of island's  vegetation by 97% made their survival
impossible
• First mammal who has been officially declared extinct due to
climate change
Devastating effect on Green Sea
Turtles population
• Gender in the sea turtles are
determined by the heat of the
sand the eggs incubate in.
• The rise in temperature is turning
almost all  the off springs into
female.
• Scientists found that female sea
turtles outnumber males 116 to
1.

When insane ideology gets commercialized
THEY ARE FADING
AWAY

• Florida Panther 168

If we stop the demand of these products from our side, the dealers would
stop selling the products
It is clear Economics.

The Cocos island  was the largest shark fishing center....With government's
intervention , it is now  turned into a shark tourist spot. The local people are
now earning much more than they did through shark fishing

With the efforts of  Wild Aid Organisation , the shark soup demand dropped
down by 70% in China.
 Our responsibilities as
Engineers

The Iceberg Project which

may come in few years
