<P>The last vaquitas on Earth are crying out for help. Less than 10
of the most endangered sea mammals are left
and <B>without <U>urgent</U> action they’ll be gone
in the blink of an eye.</B></P>
<P>These adorable creatures are getting trapped in massive
underwater walls of netting as they swim about the
ocean, <B>slowly and painfully choking to death.</B></P>
<P>But our amazing partners are working flat out to give the last
vaquitas a fighting chance at survival – and we can help!</P>
<P>They urgently need cash to buy specialist equipment like
hydrophones to help local fishers monitor the vaquitas, train dive
and rescue teams to remove gillnets, and untangle wildlife. It
would <B>save vaquitas from certain death.</B> But our
partners can’t do it alone.</P>
<P><B>Can you chip in to save the last vaquitas and help us defend
nature?</B></P>

<P>Vaquitas, the ocean’s “little cows”, are one of the smallest and
shyest ocean mammals, known for their distinctive markings that make
them look like they’re smiling – and their adorable pig-like
snorts!</P>
<P>Tragically, no other species on the planet has fallen so far, so
quickly. Estimates put the number of vaquitas as low as <B><I>just
eight individuals</I></B>, the last remaining survivors of a brutal
fishing industry in Mexico’s Upper Gulf of California. Even in such
tiny numbers, their presence is vital to balancing the fragile
marine ecosystem they're a part of. By saving the vaquitas, we’re
also saving countless other species that are dependent on the
vaquita for their own survival. </P>
<P>But there is a glimmer of hope for these resilient fighters
– scientists say their genetic health is strong, meaning that
the vaquita has every chance to bounce back if illegal and deadly
fishing practices stop now. </P>
<P>Our partners are already making incredible progress with locals
who hold sway in their communities to convince fishers to use
vaquita-friendly nets instead of gillnets – and our community helped
power this vaquita-saving work! <B>But now they need to go further,
faster, getting buy-in from more fishers by training them to monitor
the waters for vaquita activity, learn about alternative fishing
methods, and remove these underwater death traps before it’s too
late.</B></P>
<P>All of this – equipment, training, boats – takes money,
which is where we come in. Together, we could be part of saving this
fragile species from extinction but only if we move fast!</P>
<P><B>Can you chip in to save the last vaquitas and help us power
other community projects like this one?</B></P>
