Good day MARMAMers, The Wild Lens Collective is a non-profit conservation media organization. Our mission is to build conservation-minded communities and produce content documenting the efforts of researchers, citizens scientists, and other organizations focused on the conservation of our natural world. In 2015, we launched our vaquita film campaign, Souls of the Vermilion Sea in order to address the drastic decline of the vaquita porpoise in the Upper Gulf of California. Since then we have partnered with a variety of organizations that have combined their efforts to combat this dire issue. The culmination of these partnerships and our efforts to produce several short films, podcasts, and educational materials has allowed us to collaborate with some really amazing filmmakers and production companies. The result of these experiences has allowed us to help produce a feature length documentary film called Sea of Shadows. This is a huge accomplishment for the the fight to save not only the vaquita, but the entire ecosystem of the Upper Gulf of California. During the time that it took all of us to reach this point, the vaquita population has plummeted and now teeters on the edge of extinction. This film, not only raises awareness about the plight of the vaquita, but will also inform the world that all species need to be protected to maintain biodiversity. On July 12, 2019 Sea of Shadows will have its US theatrical release and we encourage you to see the film and share the vaquitas story.
