Vaquitas are innocent victims of the illegal poaching of totoaba fish in the Gulf of California or Sea of Cortez, a secret but deadly operation carried out by Mexican and Chinese drug cartels. International efforts have been launched to save them - but is it too late? Follow us to Mexico to get the answer!

📆International Save the Vaquita Day:
July 18, International Save the Vaquita Day, focuses on raising awareness and appreciation of the world's most endangered marine mammal, the vaquita (Phocoena sinus).
Want to know more about the vaquita?
📽Watch "Sea of Shadows", a feature documentary thriller, that follows undercover investigators, environmentalists, journalists, and the Mexican Navy on their desperate last-minute effort to rescue the Earth’s smallest whale-the Vaquita-from extinction.
When Mexican drug cartels and Chinese traffickers join forces to poach the rare totoaba fish in the Sea of Cortez, their deadly methods threaten to destroy virtually all marine life in the region, including the elusive and mysterious whale species known as the vaquita porpoise.
But a team of brilliant scientists, high-tech conservationists, investigative journalists and courageous undercover agents put their lives on the line to save the last remaining vaquita and bring the vicious international crime syndicate to justice.

It does not even make that much sense. Most of the stuff proposed by folk chinese medicine nowadays is not even listed in their medical books. Like. Manta ray finns. A modern invention. Vaquitas. A modern invention. Real traditional chinese medicine mostly used plants The vast majority of these modern chinese cures are scams that use the whole "traditional medicine" stick to trick ignorant folks to buy their stuff to make a quick buck And most people are so dumb and ignorant that they fall for it 🤦 I also find it very annoying that people tend to make fun of traditional chinese medicine as a whole. Their use of plants is rather impressive, and can work. But nowadays it's hard to find a true traditional doctor. Most of them are, again, selling bullshit to poor people. 😐

@jaguar_8344 4 года назад
Gratia Seia yes, but we all contribute. The Chinese hunt animals to extinction for their “healing properties”l the Americans deforest thousands of square kilometres a year, and spill hundreds of litres into the sea WEEKLY. The Europeans suffer with overfishing, and their urbanising of previously inaccessible places (in the mountains, Svalbard, the Russian islands, Icelandic beaches) has caused a huge imbalance in global marine ecosystem. The Australians are bleaching the single largest shark and fish breeding ground in the world (great barrier reef). The Russians straight up dump radioactive waste into rivers and lakes. Obviously some countries do more damage than others (China, America, Mexico, and Russia being huge contributors, VS most of Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and Iceland are quite eco friendly) but EVERYONE needs to acknowledge their wrongdoings before we can begin to reverse the damage we have done as a society.

If you pay poachers to find nets, 1. There will always be more poachers, and 2. You can set up a simple operation to have your buddies drop some relatively cheap nets that you "find," and turn in for endless profit. Like that one nation that put up a bounty for snakes, but then people just started breeding the snakes and turning them in. You wouldn't even have to stop poaching the vaquitas, you just have to turn in some nets for *extra* profit.

Theres another reason: the Colorado river doesn't reach its delta. This damages the Sea of Cortez because the river used to bring crucial organic and mineral nutrients to the golf, feeding the marine ecosystem and its productivity , but now its waters flow to lawns and crops.

People who actually do something about something dont have to manifest they care through facial expressions, internet trollery or keyboard warriorism. Ever heard of the phrase "smile through adversity"? Unlike you this isnt the first time this woman hears about the "plight of these animals" so she has no tears left. When you learn more about special people you will see them smiling through their own suffering and you will see compassion for all beings in their eyes, even towards wrong doers and haters.

To stop the illegal poaching, you must first stop the demand for these animals. The Chinese are the ones who buys a lot of it, and those fishermen take advantage of that and do the poaching to earn money. To stop it completely, the demand for it should stop first, that way, poachers wouldn't be interested in hunting the animals anymore.

It’s hilarious how everyone immediately just looked at and focused on blaming the Chinese. I wonder W H Y. Have you ever wondered, what are other things that might have affected the outcome? It’s lovely how people being racist to the Chinese are doing it to the CITIZENS. WHAT CAN THEY DO? WHAT CAN THEY CHANGE? Do you think that one or a group of citizens can affect the ENTIRE government? All this hate to Chinese citizens is disgusting and unjustified. I can understand and accept that the Chinese have made mistakes and done bad things but what does targeting the citizens do? That’s right. Absolutely nothing.

Alright I’ve changed it all to Chinese citizens. The government isn’t trying to promote the “medicine” and poaching of the animals. They’re tying to stop them but do you think the poachers really will? I agree the younger generations are straying from those ridiculous beliefs but do you really think the elders will just listen to them that easily? They’ve probably also been told by their parents of the “benefits” and won’t change their beliefs easily. I’ve seen too many videos and comments with people blatantly being racist towards the Chinese.

It's sad and unfortunate that many species are endangered or extinct. However, we are not really obligated to stop extinction. There are just some things that are out of our control. We can't stop natural selection from happening. Eventually, our changing climate will kill off some species. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that we should just let the destruction be. Destroying habitats is very bad. I'm just saying that extinction is a natural process. We can't really prevent it. We can only slow it down to some extent.

Tigers: The chinese make tiger bone wine Bears: The chinese believe that the gall bladder of a bear has healing properties Elephants: the chinese say: They didnt know elephants died for the ivory trade the Pangolin: The chinese believe that the scales of a pangolin treat many medical conditions. Is anyone noticing a trend here??? The CCP has done NOTHING to dissuade the animal trade and the president of china himself was even caught being given a rhino horn from one of his officials after a trip to Zimbabwe. Instead of cracking down on the chinese government and putting pressure on them, we are complacent and turn our eyes away from the constant fucking barbarism that is committed by the chinese all under the excuse of "Traditional chinese medicine" and when they are told that there are absolutely 0... ZERO!!!! medicinal properties to the product they are consuming? they do it anyways out of "Tradition" Want to make an effort to stop this? Dont buy chinese products, Dont buy products produced in mainland china and most of all? SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE CCP!!!! AN OPPRESSIVE COMMUNIST REGIME!!! Instead of showing DISTRUST in communism, you bend over backwards, give them your Money, our Production capabilities, and so you willingly give them POWER. Our fathers and grandfathers fought to STOP THE SPREAD of communism and we are doing nothing but a disservice and dishonoring them by allowing it to continue. they have absolutely zero regard for the lives of these animals and all they want is a quick dollar and that is proven by the fact that you cant even take your kid to the store in china without having them leashed to you out of fear that someone might steal your fucking child and sell them. Dont donate money to fucking wild life organizations, they dont allocate it properly and they line their own pockets with it and are just as guilty as the god damn poachers, want to donate to a cause? Find a way to donate to the rangers in the area, Wildlife rangers are often under equipped and under funded. I personally donate 3000$ every year to the rangers in Siberia that protect and prevent the poaching of the Siberian snow leopard and Siberian tiger, and i had a smile from ear to ear one year because they sent me an e-mail and showed me a lineup of 18 men that they had arrested and charged with poaching and posession of endangered animal products. and that was after they had used my money to purchase a FLIR (infrared optics) and so they caught the men in the dark by spotting them while in a helicopter. Stopping the poachers doesn't do ANYTHING. all you are doing is Stalling supply. If you want to stop this? THEN CREATE A HARSHER PUNISHMENT FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE DEMAND SIDE OF IT!!!
