This is my favorite spot in Cancun. So quiet and beautiful.

Vaquita
Phocoena sinus

The vaquita, a small porpoise endemic to Mexico’s Gulf of California, is the world’s smallest and most endangered small marine cetacean. With around 245 left, high levels of entanglement in fishing gear threaten imminent extinction if curent trends continue. Each year, anywhere between 40 and 80 vaquitas are killed in gillnets and trawl nets used in both artisanal and commercial fishing. At the same time, the habitat of the species has been altered by the damming of the Colorado River in the US. An intensive study of this population has taken place and some initial protective measures are underway, but without additional action to eliminate fisheries bycatch it is unlikely that its future can be ensured.
WWF has been working with Mexican scientists, government representatives, the International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita (CIRVA), and other partners and collaborators to develop a long-term strategy for the conservation of the species.

Sveriges damlandslag bצrjar hitta formen infצr VM. Pו torsdagen blev det seger med 2-0 צver Mexiko. “Vi gצr en riktigt bra match”, sהger matchhjהlten Lotta Schelin till TV4 Sport.

Sverige var צverlהgset hemma pו Gamla Ullevi och tog direkt initiativet i matchen.

1-0 kom i mitten av fצrsta halvlek nהr Lotta Schelin snurrade upp det mexikanska fצrsvaret pו vהnsterkanten och spelade in till Lisa Dahlkvist.

Sverige fortsatte att skapa chanser, dock utan att ha den rהtta skהrpan. Bוde Linda Forsberg och Lotta Schelin hade vassa chanser

- Jag tycker att vi hוller i helheten. Vi skapar mycket och har mוnga bra kombinationer, sהger Lotta Schelin.

Drygt tio minuter in pו andra halvlek satte Lotta Schelin 2-0 pו volley efter en fin framspelning frוn Caroline Seger.

- Det kהnns bra. Jag slog inte bort sו mוnga bollar, jag spelade fram till ett mוl och fוr sהtta dit ett sjהlv. Det gוr inte att vara nצjdare, sהger Lotta Schelin om sin egen insats.

Sverige spelar genrep mot Japan den 23 juni i Bochum.
