DESCRIPTION:International Save the Vaquita Day is intended to be an annual event similar to Earth Day\, but with a specific focus on raising awareness and appreciation of the world’s most endangered marine mammal\, the vaquita (Phocoena sinus).

The species is nearly extinct\, with few individuals surviving. We will have a simple message for folks about what they can do to help. Secondary goals are to gather signatures for our petitions to the Mexican government\, and also to raise additional funds for future educational and research work on the vaquita. The event is designed to be fun\, as well as educational\, and kid-friendly! \nIn 2022\, the event will once again take place entirely online\, with a 4-hour live stream on YouTube\, Facebook and Twitch.
