Concern for Mexico’s Vaquita as Totoaba Swim Bladder Trafficking Surges Online
The illegal trafficking of totoaba swim bladders is rising online, harming endangered species like the vaquita porpoise in Mexico. Totoaba bladders are sought after in traditional Chinese medicine and their trade threatens the survival of the vaquita, which has dwindled to just 10 individuals. Experts warn that without urgent action to stop this illegal trade, the vaquita may go extinct.
