Vaquita rescue mission ends in Mexico

Today marks the scheduled end of VaquitaCPR’s one-month mission to try and move some of the last vaquita to the safety of a sanctuary. It’s been a difficult month for the expert conservationists from around the world that had been assembled to implement what was meant as an insurance policy against the extinction of the small vaquita porpoise. The mission helped put the world’s spotlight back on the world’s most endangered marine mammal, and efforts are set to continue to save this species.
