But widespread fishing in the 1990s and early 2000s, which targeted zebra sharks for their fins and meat, decimated the population there. But now, a world-first project is underway to help these zebra sharks rebound.<\/p>\n<p>And, if successful, it could provide a model to help repair other marine ecosystems that have been devastated by humans. While Australia has a relatively healthy number of zebra sharks \u2014 thanks to long-established government protections \u2014 globally, it&#8217;s a very different story. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) classifies the species as endangered and there are locations like Raja Ampat where they have almost entirely disappeared. This is despite the Indonesian islands becoming a much safer place for sea life with the introduction of government marine protections in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>At Sea Life Sydney Aquarium, two male zebra sharks named Leo and Gohan, and two females named Zimba and Kaya, have been enlisted for the breeding project. After mating, the females lay brown, leathery eggs, which the aquarium closely monitors to make sure they&#8217;re developing as they should be. The eggs are carefully packed and flown to Raja Ampat, where they&#8217;re put in hatcheries \u2014 purpose-built, overwater huts full of equipment to help them adapt. The eggs take another month or so to hatch, then the baby sharks (known as pups) are taken care of by specially trained aquarists, or &#8220;shark nannies&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2023-10-31\/zebra-sharks-at-sydney-aquarium-in-indonesian-rewilding-project\/103027954\">ABC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-422\/\">How a Sydney aquarium is helping endangered zebra sharks bounce back in Indonesia<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[12059,575,3993,12060],"class_list":["post-118031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-aquarium","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-sydney","tag-zebra-sharks"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118031\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
