"On my last dive [in Isla Mujeres, Mexico] I was face-to-face with a whale shark. Breathe calmly and the shark swam calmly, while staring at me. When I calmed down, he also calmed down. For a long time we swam so â€" when finally stopped, he also stopped swimming, and when I put the head out of the water he turned and swam to the other side ".

So Amy Tan explained her adventure face-to-face with a whale shark. Amy, who wrote about his adventure on the site The Dodo, admitted that this was one of the rare moments when you realize an animal is, indeed, a be patient. "The shark was able to sense my calm and was never in danger", advanced.

Although I do not recommend anyone a similar adventure, the truth is that Amy's text has the Mojo to appeal to consumers to ensure that their actions are considered â€" especially when it comes to food consumption linked to fishing. Amy was in Isla Mujeres at the invitation of WildAid, an NGO that has a very direct approach to biodiversity.

"When the buying stops, the killing will stop too," explains the NGO. For shopping we mean, for example, the famous shark's fin soup, very consumed in China. According to WildAid, when Chinese consumers realized where it came from that piece of cartilage without flavor, many no longer ask the soup â€" and consumption fell 70%.

With the fall in consumption, the killing of sharks also declined. The consumer always has the last word when it comes to sustainability and biodiversity, believes the WildAid. Here are some pictures of Amy Tan and interiorize adventure that their actions are really important when it comes to the preservation of animal life. Even if you don't have this notion.
