As Brooke Bessesen writes in her new book, Vaquita: Science, Politics, and 
Crime in the Sea of Cortez<https://islandpress.org/books/vaquita>, 
"Conservation is messy business." Economic, cultural, political, and 
legislative forces all come into play when considering protection strategies 
for an at-risk species. And, frustratingly, the best approach for victory isn't 
always clear. Local communities have to balance potential job losses and 
preservation of their cultural history with conservation goals. When 
governments help or hinder the cause, lawsuits become tools for action. Because 
of these complex dynamics, key players in the conservation effort may, at 
times, find themselves at odds-even if their end goal is the same.

This webinar, moderated by Dr. Tom Jefferson, explores the complicated issue of 
endangered species recovery through the lens of the now extremely rare 
porpoise, the vaquita, asking: When it comes to saving a species, is it 
possible to unify all concerned parties to fight for a common, singular 
objective? Bessesen will introduce the world's smallest cetacean and explain 
the history of its plight. By examining the economic, cultural, and legislative 
aspects of vaquita conservation, audience members are encouraged to consider 
the universal goals and challenges related to disappearing species worldwide. 
We end with a Q&A.

Please share this event information with colleagues and members of the public, 
as we hope to draw a broad audience and bring everyone into this important 
conversation.
