However, the second one sounds more polite. So we should learn how to ask for help properly.

By 2020, Raja Ampat’s zebra shark population had dropped to about 20. “ 1 a reintroduction programme, there are simply not enough zebra sharks left in Raja Ampat to recover on their own”, said Nesha Ichida, an Indonesian marine scientist.
ReShark’s first project, called STAR, broke new ground (or water) in 2023. On a January day, Nesha carefully supported a 15-week-old zebra shark named Charlie—the first zebra shark to be 2 in the waters of Raja Ampat. “Everyone involved in the STAR project had been working towards that moment for three years, so we were all incredibly proud,” says Nesha.
Reintroducing species to oceans is far more challenging than reintroducing them on land. Not only are reintroduced animals harder to track underwater, but threats to their existence are also more 3 to manage. After all, reintroducing sharks is pointless if they are going to face the danger that caused their original disappearance.
Across the world, sharks of all species are being killed faster than aquariums could ever replace them. On top of this, sharks 4 relatively slowly, take many years to mature and produce few young. This means efforts to protect wild sharks are critical. 5 , giving wild shark populations a helping hand through rewilding could prove hugely beneficial. Moving beyond zebra sharks, the ReShark team is currently looking at other shark species and other 6 — from angel sharks in the Canary Islands and off the coast of Wales, to nurse sharks in East Africa.
“The STAR project has opened the door to new possibilities,” says Erin Meyer, chairman of the STAR project steering committee. “Considering nearly 400 species of sharks and rays are threatened with extinction, the need to add ocean ‘resharking’ is clear and urgent.”

People use those languages to communicate with others. They talk to each other They learn about and 2 new ideas and knowledge. They can do all that in person and on the Internet.
However, there is a problem. Not all 7, 000 languages and dialects are on the Internet. A lot of them are 3 . According to a UNESCO study, 98% of the pages on the Internet are just 12 languages. Also, over 50% of those are in English. That’s 4 for English speakers but not for many others.
A part of the problem comes from computer keyboards. They only have letters in English or the other main languages on the Internet. So, it’s impossible for the speakers of the missing languages to type their words.

When we see a stranger in trouble, we have two choices. Some people are willing to give a hand, while others may 1 to take no notice. If I were in this situation, I would help the stranger without thinking twice.

Indeed, helping others can allow us to help 3 . Any of us could end up in a situation where we need help from our family, friends or even strangers.

The zebra shark is now in danger of disappearing from Raja Ampat’s waters. It is largely the result of overfishing, driven by demand for its meat and fins. By 2020, Raja Ampat’s zebra shark population had dropped to about 20. “ 1 a reintroduction programme, there are simply not enough zebra sharks left in Raja Ampat to recover on their own”, said Nesha Ichida, an Indonesian marine scientist.
ReShark’s first project, called STAR, broke new ground (or water) in 2023. On a January day, Nesha carefully supported a 15-week-old zebra shark named Charlie—the first zebra shark to be 2 in the waters of Raja Ampat. “Everyone involved in the STAR project had been working towards that moment for three years, so we were all incredibly proud,” says Nesha.
Reintroducing species to oceans is far more challenging than reintroducing them on land. Not only are reintroduced animals harder to track underwater, but threats to their existence are also more 3 to manage. After all, reintroducing sharks is pointless if they are going to face the danger that caused their original disappearance.
Across the world, sharks of all species are being killed faster than aquariums could ever replace them. On top of this, sharks 4 relatively slowly, take many years to mature and produce few young. This means efforts to protect wild sharks are critical. 5 , giving wild shark populations a helping hand through rewilding could prove hugely beneficial. Moving beyond zebra sharks, the ReShark team is currently looking at other shark species and other 6 — from angel sharks in the Canary Islands and off the coast of Wales, to nurse sharks in East Africa.
“The STAR project has opened the door to new possibilities,” says Erin Meyer, chairman of the STAR project steering committee. “Considering nearly 400 species of sharks and rays are threatened with extinction, the need to add ocean ‘resharking’ is clear and urgent.”

And more wonders exist beyond the Daintree’s embrace. Trees stand as monuments to resilience and endurance. These ancient sentinels, scattered across the globe, remind us of the timeless beauty and importance of preserving our natural heritage.
As I 5 the rainforest to continue my journey, I carry with me the memory of these primeval beings.
