They are also the family of elasmobranchs (sharks and rays) most threatened with extinction.
One of the major constraints to protecting the few remaining populations of sawfishes worldwide is that there is remarkably little information available on where sawfishes can still be found.
Since 2012, Ruth Leeney has conducted baseline data on sawfishes in eight countries through her organization Protect Africa's Sawfishes, to help identify where conservation and research efforts for sawfishes should be focused.
Ruth will share some of her findings from recent research projects, as well as the highs and lows of travelling and working in some fascinating and hard-to-reach regions.
