MARINE MAMMAL BOOKS AND JOURNALS AVAILABLE

   ¡VIVAVaquita! is a non-profit organization dedicated to working to help save the vaquita from extinction.  100% of funds raised are actively used for research and conservation work on the vaquita (Phocoena sinus), the world’s most endangered marine mammal species, and other endangered cetaceans.  The global population of the vaquita now numbers only about 10 individuals and is nearing extinction. Visit our website at www.vivavaquita.org for more details.  
   ¡VIVAVaquita! has hundreds of marine mammal books, reprints, monographs, and journals that are available for a donation to the organization.  Below is a small sample of some of the items we have (price listed is suggested donation, shipping is extra), but there are many, many more,  Overseas shipping requires a minimum donation of US$100.
