Recently, I was contacted by William Whittenbury, a member of the Muskwa Club (see Blogroll), a group that is currently working on saving the Vaquita. They are doing an amazing job, from presentations to videos to books to floats, they are really taking an immense step for public awareness. You can read more about what they are or plan on doing in William’s comment on About V-log. William has been very kind to me, inviting me to join the club, help write their video series’ screenplay, and is even willing to sell and display my informational Vaquita book at their presentations. William’s mom actually gave me a website that I can use to self-publish it! Dr. Tom Jefferson has already generously proofread it for fact authenticity and given permission to use one of his photos for the book. My brother and I are finishing up our illustrations for the book, and the whole thing is really starting to look like it could be a real success! I will give you further updates as they come.
Wow, that’s great stuff! Will that be the first published vaquita book? I’ve searched and never found any. Best of luck getting it finished.

Thanks! Yes, it actually will be the first published, hard-copy Vaquita book ever. Sounds hard to believe, right? There are many papers, some online books, and a coloring book, but this is the first actual book with text about the Vaquita.
