RARE MARINE MAMMAL BOOKS 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. The global
population of this species now numbers less than 15 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 sample of some of the rarer items we have (price
listed is suggested donation, shipping is extra), but there are many, many more
and suggested donation amounts range from US$1-150. To order or for a list of additional books available (and
