SAVE THE VAQUITA! There are only 150 left...Please help!

The Vaquita is the world's smallest dolphin and is found in a tiny area in the Gulf of Mexico. Their current population is thought to be around 125-150 individuals. In 2 yrs the Vaquita will be extinct if we don't make a change. The Mexican and US government both list the Vaquita as endangered. Gillnets for fishing shrimp entangle and kill Vaquitas. We can save the Vaquita's by telling friends and family about the Vaquita's plight. Do not buy shrimp or fish caught in gill nets (buy farm-raised sea-food). Help the Mexican economy by traveling to Mexico. Donate to The Vaquita Recovery Fund. Send a Vaquita drawing asking the UN for it's support.
