Sturgeons are the most endangered species group on earth. These gentle giants have been around since the age of the dinosaurs, but are now on the brink of extinction due to overfishing, a flourishing illegal caviar trade and habitat loss. But we can still save sturgeons. And in the process, revive the rivers they live in for the benefit of people and nature.

WWF is working with communities, civil society, companies, scientists, law enforcement authorities and governments across the world to save these extraordinary fish. Sturgeons are economically and culturally important in every river basin and country across their traditional range. We are aiming to rebuild their populations by tackling the illegal caviar trade and enhancing the health of river systems, which are the lifeblood of both people and fish.
