Following sustained calls from EIA and its campaign partners for Mexico to clamp down on the illegal totoaba fish trade which is driving the critically endangered vaquita porpoise to extinction, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has today announced it is taking action
Sanctions should be put in place to pressure Mexico to save the vaquita porpoise, whose population is estimated to have dwindled to just 10 remaining animals
The European Union has unveiled a plan to close its domestic ivory market – but while the move to further restrict trade in ivory is both welcome and long overdue, it falls far short of what is needed
Scientists have announced that only 10 vaquita porpoises are estimated to survive in the world – virtually assuring the animal’s extinction without bold and immediate action.
