Default World’s Smallest Porpoise Teetering On The Brink Of Extinction; Only 60 Left In The Wild

World’s Smallest Porpoise Teetering On The Brink Of Extinction; Only 60 Left In The Wild

The demand for illegal fish bladders is driving the vaquita’s demise.


You’ve probably never had the pleasure of seeing a vaquita in the wild. And unless action is immediately taken to protect this rare porpoise, you never will.

The vaquita is the most endangered marine mammal on Earth, and according to a panel of scientists that’s been tracking the animal’s dwindling numbers, it’s now teetering dangerously close to extinction.
