Mexico, US, Canada to protect endangered porpoise
Officials from Mexico, the United States and Canada are teaming up in a plan presented Tuesday to protect the vaquita marina, a highly endangered species of porpoise in the upper Gulf of California.
According to the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation there are an estimated 150 vaquitas left in the wild and an average of forty killed a year in fish nets so this project launched between canada, The U.S. and Mexico couldn’t have come at a better time.

Do sweets deserve such a bad rap? In total, the National Confectioners Association projects at least $2.2 billion worth of candy will be sold this Halloween season—and that’s a low estimate, including only what’s specifically marketed for the holiday. That means a lot of extra, nonrecyclable packaging for all those fun-size candy bars. It also means millions of pounds of cocoa and corn syrup that needs to be farmed, processed, and shipped.
Sand dune Queensland Australia, just because I like aerial view pictures. I’ve been around coastal beach-shrub ecological communities, but never anywhere that there was just a sudden transition from sand to thick vegetation.
