Please click here to sign the petition to save the Irrawaddy dolphin from extinction.
'Conservation group WWF is calling for urgent
action to prevent the extinction of freshwater dolphins in the Mekong
River, estimating 85 Irrawaddy dolphins left in Cambodia and Laos. The
Mekong River Irrawaddy dolphin has been listed as critically endangered
since 2004.
Habitat destruction, low calf survival rates, and fishing net entanglements are the biggest threats.'
Locals must drastically change the way they fish (how about stopping entirely!) and ban net-fishing to give the dolphins a chance of survival.
Thank you for signing.
