Thanks to everyone worldwide who is reading and sharing #Vaquita (or listening on Audible). This intense ‘detective story’ about the world’s most endangered marine mammal highlights the universal challenges accelerating biodiversity loss.

2/🧵Time is running out! If you want to help #vaquita, there are actually several things you can do. Some of these may seem insignificant or trite but they are, in fact, quite effective at driving change:

3/🧵 UNDERSTAND THE FACTS—read the book #Vaquita to gain foundation knowledge, then stay tuned to the story

4/🧵 RAISE AWARENESS—share your knowledge about the #vaquita crisis, post on social media, talk to friends and encourage them to learn more

5/🧵 FUND ORGANIZATIONS PROTECTING #VAQUITA—especially those working with and supporting local communities and fishermen (this will require some research)

6/🧵 VOTE—biodiversity loss is a global issue, one that we all have a hand in, so no matter where you live, use your ballot for pro-#vaquita legislation

7/🧵 BE A COMPASSIONATE CONSUMER—ask questions about where your seafood is caught and always choose gillnet-free... do it for #vaquita

end/🧵 Thanks for caring about #vaquita! More information, links and resources can be found at islandpress.org/you-can-help-s…
