I know you all think sharks are tough, vicious eating machines which have thrived for hundreds of millions of years, but many species face extinction from overfishing, unprincipled slaughter, and, well, the zombie menace.
Seriously, they're at risk, and some organizations are working to save sharks. And unfortunately, that requires money. Currently, one group from Shark Rescue is in a desert race to raise attention about the plight of the sharks, and to raise money (there aren't many sharks in the Gobi Desert, I know, but the goal is planetary awareness, with sharks as just one example). Donate if you can.
Compensate for the zombie depradations, if nothing else.
