Trivia: What was the first country to start protecting great white sharks?
Australia
United States
South Africa
Indonesia
The correct answer is South Africa
So why is this answer correct? : In 1991, South Africa became the first country to grant legal protection to the majestic apex predators; ever since, it has been a major destination for shark-related ecotourism. Other countries have followed suit in protecting the species, but preservation of great whites is still a major concern for scientists and environmental researchers. The World Wildlife Fund currently lists great whites as a vulnerable species.
