Protect Hector's and Maui's dolphins

The Issue

Hector's and Maui's dolphins are the world's rarest marine dolphin species. They occur only in New Zealand, Hector's off the South Island and Maui's of the North Island. Both species are acutely threatened with extinction through fishing. Only 111 Maui's dolphins are left. New Zealand's Minister of Fisheries is currently reconsidering protection measures for Hector's and Maui's dolphins. Please show the NZ government you care about this issue and want to see this most endangered of all marine dolphin species protected against drowning in fishing nets !
