“I don’t eat parrotfish”, Environment campaign in favor of herbivorous reef fish

The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources has launched a social campaign called “I don’t eat parrotfish,” (YO NO COMO LORO) aimed at raising awareness and seeking help for the endangered essential parrotfish in the marine ecosystem. The campaign, in collaboration with external actors, seeks to involve the population in the initiative and comply with Decree 418-21, which imposes a two-year ban on capturing, fishing, and commercializing herbivorous reef fish throughout the national territory.

The campaign invites people to participate by publishing educational content or calling for help through photos or videos, available at the following link: https://we.tl/t-AJ5BPbHmD3, (NOTE: The video is in Spanish and does not include subtitles) and including the hashtags #YONOCOMOLORO, #SOSLORO. The video details what the general public can do to help save this species of wildlife.
