¡VIVAVaquita! (a non-profit organization) is seeking marine mammal books, reprints, monographs, and journals. Literature can be donated or we can purchase sets of books, reprints, and journals. We compile and then make the literature available to colleagues working on marine mammals, getting it into hands where it will be actively used, and in the process help to raise funds for research and conservation work on the vaquita (Phocoena sinus), the World’s most endangered marine mammal species. Donations are tax-deductible, and we may be able to arrange pick-up of large quantities of literature.

As you may have heard, the global population of this species now numbers <100 individuals and is decling at about 19%/year. We are currently collecting literature to help fund our education work with local organizations and school groups in Mexico and California, in a last-ditch effort to avoid the extinction of this species in the next couple of years! Visit our website at www.vivavaquita.org. If you have any marine mammal literature you would be interested in donating or selling to us, please contact Tom Jefferson at sclymene@aol.com.
