In the same vein as the living river dolphin illustrations, we were asked to illustrate a hopeful image of the vaquita to encourage the Mexican goverment to strongly enforce their ban on illegal gill net fishing.

Vaquita are a type of porpoise, the smallest living cetaceans, the most rare and sadly on the brink of extinction.

They are incredibly shy of humans and very skiddish which makes getting a good image of a living vaquita quite difficult.
