The Mexican government has lifted the ban on fishing in the Vaquita’s habitat. The Vaquita porpoise, also known as the “panda of the sea,” is the most endangered marine mammal in the world. The government’s decision effectively ensures that the remaining 10 or so porpoises will die in gillnets.

How can you help? Write to the IUCN at [email protected] and CITES at info@cites.org to request that they take action to help protect Vaquitas by insisting the Mexican government reinstate the fishing ban. Or donate to support the critical conservation efforts by Vaquita CPR and Earth League International - ELI.
