Later this week the Mexican government will announce their last effort to save the Vaquita, a small porpoise, from extinction. Fewer than 100 vaquita’s exist in the wild and are only found in the Gulf of California – making them the world’s most endangered marine mammal. Sightings of this elusive species are rare and occur almost exclusively when fishermen pull them up tangled in fishing nets. Unfortunately, without immediate action this species is expected to be declared extinct by 2018.
