Viva la Vida, Vaquita


Viva la Vida, Vaquita
The Issue
The Vaquita is a marine animal located along the Coast of California. There are less than 100 left, and they are being killed by fishermen using the drift gillnet. The Vaquita gets trapped in the nets, goes into shock, and dies. Mexico has set a two year ban on the drift gillnet, effective in 2014. The ban is almost over. We are hoping enough kind hearted people will sign this petition and persuade Mexico to expand the ban for another 20-30 years. This will give time for the Vaquita to repopulate.
