A campaign spearheaded by the United States-based organization Wild Aid has contributed to a major decline in demand for shark fin across Asia. China, for example, has banned shark-fin soup, a traditional delicacy, at official government dinners and functions – a move that contributed to a 30% drop in shark-fin sales from last December to April.
由美国野生动物援助组织发起的一场运动已成功导致亚洲鱼翅需求量的大幅降低。比如中国就已禁止消费鱼翅汤，这是当地官方政府晚宴和典礼上的一种传统美食&mdash;&mdash;此举从去年12月到今年4月已导致鱼翅销量下降30%。在中国鱼翅贸易中心的南部城市广州，经销商报告在过去两年的时间里销售下降了82%。
