The Vaquita is on the Edge of Extinction – Can Technology Save It?

The vaquita porpoise (Phocoena sinus) is the rarest marine mammal, with fewer than 10 individuals remaining in the wild. Found only in Mexico’s Gulf of California, this elusive species is critically endangered due to illegal gillnet fishing for totoaba, a fish highly valued in Chinese markets.

💡 But new conservation technology is offering hope! In this video, we explore:
✅ What makes the vaquita unique
✅ Why gillnets are the biggest threat
✅ How drones, sonar, and AI are being used to detect illegal fishing
✅ The latest conservation efforts by scientists and organizations like Sea Shepherd
✅ What YOU can do to help prevent the extinction of this incredible species!
