*[Enwl-eng] These tiny rare porpoises are drowning, tangled in illegal gillnets

[ENWL]

            The last 10 vaquita porpoises could die off forever if the 
government of Mexico doesn't act fast

                 Vaquitas are the the smallest porpoises and the rarest 
marine mammals on Earth. Cousins of the dolphin, only 10 are left alive in 
the whole world. One of the main reasons for their impending extinction is 
drowning to death in a type of fishing gear called gillnets. These last 10 
critically endangered animals could be saved. But the government of Mexico 
just made that much harder, by loosening enforcement of regulations in the 
Sea of Cortez that were designed to save the vaquitas' lives.

                  The Sea of Cortez (also known as the Gulf of California) 
is a "zero tolerance area" where fishing is strictly banned. This has been 
extremely important for the preservation of this rare species. But rather 
than upping its game and cracking down even more seriously on criminal 
infractions, Mexican authorities have decided to go in the opposite 
direction — by refusing to commit enforcement resources unless upwards of 50 
illegal fishing boats are observed in this small patch of water. For every 
single illegal boat allowed out in the Sea of Cortez, another rare and 
precious porpoise is put in danger. We cannot afford to lose a single other 
vaquita. Sign the petition to demand that the government of Mexico double 
down on conserving this vulnerable species!

                  Thank you,

                         Miranda

                  P.S. There are only 10 of these animals left. Every single 
one must be saved. Sign the petition now.
