Castle Dawn Aquatics Betta Rescue Program
Over the years we have worked on many international conservation projects for aquatic species, however, bettas have always been our main focus. Over 28 species of wild Betta have been assessed by the IUCN as endangered or critically endangered as of 2019.
In 2015 we established the Castle Dawn Aquatics Betta Rescue program, where 20% of the profit from any Betta related product went back into wild Betta conservation. We are thrilled to be extending this program to our online sales with the launch of our new website.
20% of the profits from any item in this section will go towards wild Betta conservation.
