this photo breaks my heart. it may seem small and insignificant but this black coral took several years to grow this size. the photo may be nice, but black coral is listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). this is like killing a tiger cub, taking its photo and saying its a beautiful picture.

reblogging so that others may know.
In an age where everyone can photograph, not everything can be photographed.
