Endangered Vaquita porpoises continue to decline
From The Washington Post:
The world is making a last push to save its cutest porpoise from extinction. It probably won�t
work.

Was in San Felipe a few weeks back, a local fisherman who was
not allowed to fish due to the ban on commercial fishing in the
No. Cortez was wondering why the world would put him out of
work, even if my Spanish was great, I would not attempt an
explaination. Sea Shepard was offshore, which I'm not sure
the crew would be embraced.The article says nets used for Toutuaba, I believe
they use nets for legal fishing also. That Asian thirst for bogus
medcinal therapy is the cause, along with shark finning among
other destructive practices

What's a number less than zero that lives in the sea?

Compassion is too late for this issue. Where was your compassion when the Vaquita was being wiped out by the netters fishing for Totuava in the north
Gulf? I don't recall seeing anything...or do you have any idea of what I'm talking about?

Is sadness and compassion for an endangered species reserved for winnable Endeavors?

Worse than endangered. Their remaining numbers, reported variously to be 50--100, aren't sufficient enough to sustain, let alone redevelop a species.
There continues to be new programs popping up to "save the Vaquita," but they're just spending lots of other people's money for nothing.
Shameful, but true
