SUMMARY:International Save the Vaquita Day 2024
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). Events around the globe direct the attention of people to the plight of this tiny porpoise species\, and what needs to be done to save it from extinction. There are booths\, educational brochures\, inspirational talks\, face painting etc. on hand at events around the world to draw attention to and appreciation of the vaquita\, Mexico’s “Panda of the Sea”. \nThe primary goal is to make as many people as possible aware of the vaquita and its plight\, and spur them to act. 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 2023\, the event will once again take place entirely online\, with a 4-hour live stream on YouTube\, Facebook and Twitch.
