Today I am travelling to Peru. And that's thanks to your incredible support! Thank you once again for making this project happen. I will arrive in Lima tomorrow morning and will immediately make my way to our study area in Zorritos, where I will meet my supervisor Stefany Rojas and our translator Katherine for the very first time. We plan to start the interviews as quickly as possible. Watch out for more updates, we will keep you posted!

This project will contribute to the protection of endangered manta and devil ray species (collectively known as Mobulids) in Peru. Their decline is mainly caused by overfishing. However, the still developing communities of northern Peru depend on Mobulid meat and the income it generates. To prevent disadvantaging locals by simply restricting their catches, we will explore their socioeconomic and cultural dependence to incorporate those into a sustainable and ethical conservation plan.
