The name of YAQU PACHA is unusual. It is pronounced Jaku Patscha and comes from South America.
We are a non-profit organization from Nuremberg and are committed to helping endangered mammals in Latin America that live in the water. For example, we look after endangered dolphins, whales, manatees, seals and the vaquita, which is threatened with extinction. Vaquitas are small porpoises that live in Mexico in the Gulf of California. There are only 6 to 9 of them left.
The La Plata dolphin is also endangered. It lives on the coasts of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. These animals are mainly threatened by bycatch. This means that the animals are accidentally caught in fishing nets.
We also protect the river dolphins in the rainforests of South America. They have poor eyesight and use echolocation to find their way around. They have a flexible neck, which distinguishes them from other dolphins.
We also protect manatees. They live in rivers and the sea and feed on plants.
We also look after whales in South America. There are baleen whales and toothed whales. There are about 80 species of toothed whales in the world.
Our work is not easy and we have to take care of many things at the same time to protect the animals.
We are pleased that you are interested in our work. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
