Saving the Red Handfish from Extinction

The Red Handfish is a critically endangered species of fish isolated to just two small sub-populations in South-eastern Tasmania. It's estimated there are only 100 left in the wild.
FAME has partnered with the University of Tasmania and the Institute for Marine & Antarctic Studies to assist with captive breeding, ecosystem restoration and pest species management and associated environmental work. Our partners will also attempt a world first by ‘teaching’ the fish how to survive in their relocated habitat.
The future of the Red Handfish rests in your hands. Help us save this species from the brink of extinction.

That low? 🤔
Don't get me wrong... I agree the species must be preserved. They're cute little fish.
