James Leah shares his love for sharks and the journey he makes aims to save their rapidly declining population due to the demand of shark meat at the fish markets. Leah has worked with “Save Our Seas” alongside specialists and other organisations to foreground the dangers of overfishing and the role that it plays in threatening the existing ecosystems that thrive with the presence of these predators. Older Than Trees takes us on a captivating journey that implies that a main aspect of conserving and preserving marine life is ensuring that governments adhere to legislation that takes marine life into consideration.
