Malaysia has a plan
The nation of Malaysia, located in south Asia, had an idea to save the manta rays and also make some money. Usually, the manta ray would be hunted, killed, and sold for a few hundred dollars. But after their numbers started to dwell, the government had an idea to change the manta ray population for the better.
They discovered that they could start something called ‘Manta Tourism’, which basically means making tourism around animals. People would come from all over the world to see the manta rays and go on diving tours with them. It continues to be very popular with people from every country on Earth.
