Note: This is a very spontaneous piece and certainly out of order, but I couldn't stay silent anymore.

More likely you've already heard about Vaquita, also called "cochita" and "Gulf of California porpoise". In the last few years they constantly headline numerous news publications, but the moral of all of those stories is always the same: "We need to save the Vaquitas!".

It's been a decade since we hear about the risk of Vaquita's extinction. Elaborate speeches of celebrities and politicians surfaced there and there, while many and many of those tiny creatures drowned in nets. It was reported back in March, that the population consists of just 10 individuals (in comparison, 245 in 2008, 567 in 1997). This caused further discussion and, eventually, a ban of certain net types.

This is why it is a much harder slap in the face, when you see a recent video, filmed just last week, of the very same Vaquita dying in the very same nets: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Yuu1OBbUM/

Despite all the posh talks lately, we've lost this species. Just like we did in 2000's with Baijis. Just like we are likely going to do with North Atlantic Right Whales. The Net Issue is not exclusive for Vaquitas. Every day the bottlenose and common dolphins, as well as tiny Black sea porpoises struggle with a lot of problems. I'm asking you to help to ban the use of gillnets in the Black sea: https://www.change.org/p/жабер.....ратория

It's time we should help them. Before we lose the chance to DO something. Before TALKING becomes the only thing left for us.
