(UNITED STATES/WILDAID)-Wildlife champion Peter Knights has be honored with a Bay Area Jefferson Award for public service. A segment featuring Knights and fellow shark advocate Julie Packard of the Monterey Bay Aquarium aired on KPIX Channel 5 News.
Knights is Co-Founder and CEO of WildAid, a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that conserves endangered species.
WildAid was instrumental in convincing Sacramento lawmakers to pass a statewide ban on the sale of shark fins.
The cruel and unsustainable practice of shark finning is responsible for up to 73 million shark deaths each year.
