I’m Goldenliontamarin. I am a 13-year-old boy living in Bethlehem, PA. I play tennis about 20 hours a week, but when I’m not, I’m either birding or trying to save the Vaquita, (oh yeah, and school). A few years ago, I stumbled upon the Vaquita, a tiny endangered porpoise. I was heartbroken when I read about its story, so I decided to start this blog, along with many other efforts to help this species. I post poems, facts, artwork, and updates about the Vaquita weekly, and have other pages to help inform you about the Vaquita and its helpers. I hope this blog will help save a species in need.
great job !
Thanks, your blog is great, too!
I like your poem, “The Egg.”
Thank you very much!
Thank you for “liking” the web-site. Your web-site is also very interesting. We know that God created many wonderful creatures. I never knew about Vaquita before. Thank you for sharing.
No problem! I’m glad you learned something! Thanks, GLT
It’s nice to see a young boy like yourself taking time to make others aware of something you’re passionate about like the Vaquita. I hope this will inspire more children and their parents to take initiative and help out.
I’m honored!

i am trying to make a vaquita commity in my school i want to help the vaquita so much! I stumbled upon it in “Whales Dolphins and Porpoises”
I really appreciate that you are trying to help the Vaquita. A Vaquita committee is a great idea. Please don’t stop working towards that goal. The Vaquita needs so much help, so every person that knows about it is increasing the Vaquita’s chance of survival. Encourage your friends and teachers to start that committee. Knowing that you are helping is the world’s greatest pleasure.
Hello,
Your work here is truly excellent. I am also a “boy with a mission.” I’m president of the Muskwa Club, a student-run organization active in California, Pennsylvania (in Pottstown,) North Carolina, and Maryland. Our organization encompasses operations at fourteen schools. We’ve just started a major effort to save the vaquita, encompassing a variety of mediums. We have a strong presenation base (we’ve talked to five classes, held three awareness tables, and talked to numerous local organizations including ACS LA) and have educated almost 800 people since the beginning of 2013. Our table today at Los Serenos de Point Vicente’s Whale of a Day attracted 350 people, all of whom recieved lots of information about the vaquita. We’re working concurrently with the American Cetacean Society (Los Angeles Chapter,) Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, Los Serenos de Point Vicente, RPV TV, Hawk Club, San Pedro Earth Club, and San Pedro Boys and Girls Club. In addition to our presentation base, we are working on a picture book (we have a publisher and a first draft completed,) a video series (based on 1930s-type serials- they’ll have a suspenseful ending each time for our vaquita and fisherman characters,) and a float for our local holiday parade. I think it would be a great idea to somehow coordinate our efforts, as we are both student-run and have the same goals. You can contact me at the email in the registration below. Hopefully we can work together!
I would absolutely love to work with your group. It sounds like you have a very well-established base with some great projects going. I am very interested in your book and movies. As you might know, I am currently working on two, eventually three, Vaquita books. I have many plans forming in my head about what we could accomplish. I will contact you and we can talk about some ideas!
