šŸšØšŸ¬ The plight of the rare mammal has been tracked extensively, and since 2011 researchers have reported a 98.6% drop in numbers. ā€” The porpoise only lives in a small area within the Gulf of California. It has already been classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Part of the risk to the species is accidental entanglement in illegal gillnets used by fishers. One in five Vaquita drown in the nets used to catch Totoaba fish, which are also endangered. https://news.sky.com/story/days-or-months-left-for-porpoise-species-vaquita-as-it-nears-extinction-11775723
