An eleventh-hour plan to save the vaquita porpoise from extinction has been abandoned. Less than 30 vaquitas are thought to be living in the wild, making them the most endangered marine mammal. A plan to protect the remaining porpoises under human care has been cancelled after one of the animals died while being captured.

Dr Frances Gulland from the Marine Mammal Commission in California is one of the scientists who's been trying to save them from extinction.
