The Vaquitas are hanging on - Catherine - 06-11-2023
Vaquita are a very small, very rare porpoise that only lives in Mexican waters. There numbers are low and declining, but there is still a population hanging on.
They need more protection, but they are still surviving.

Since the Vaquita have shown such a strong will to live, we should be doing everything we can to help them. They have such a small area where they are found, surely we can protect that small area from illegal fishing and other things that harm the Vaquita.
