A Care2 petition is attempting to raise a target of 1,000 signatures to present to IUCN, the World Conservation Union on behalf of the critically-endangered Mediterranean monk seal.
The petition urges the international organisation to take action to save the species.
An IUCN General Assembly Resolution in 2008 called upon its Secretary General and Pinniped Specialist Group to mount an international effort on behalf of Europe’s most endangered marine mammal — so far to little tangible effect.
