It has been protected under Annex II of the Barcelona Convention since 1996.\u201d While he faces challenges, including impeded access to scientific equipment, funding, laboratories, and inconsistent internet and electricity, he remains undaunted in his quest to understand and protect giant devil rays.<\/p>\n Dot applauds these courageous Climate Champs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Admiringly,<\/p>\n Dot<\/p>\n
