For the first time, countries are committing to collective action to save river dolphins

River dolphins are extraordinary. As apex predators, they are the icons of some of the world’s greatest river systems. But all six remaining species are facing extinction, while a seventh species, the Chinese river dolphin or baiji, was declared extinct in 2007. Since the 1980s, river dolphin populations have plummeted by 73% due to a barrage of threats. The recent deaths of over 150 river dolphins in the Amazon’s drought-ravaged Lake Tefé show that climate change is becoming an increasingly severe threat to their survival. Last year, for the first time, countries are committing to collective action to save river dolphins: the landmark Global Declaration for River Dolphins. This Global Declaration “roadmap” not only created hope for the endangered river dolphins but also for the world’s most important rivers, including the Amazon and Orinoco in South America, which are relied on by indigenous people and local communities in remote areas to the residents of megacities. “Inspiring conservation efforts at local and national levels have yielded some incredible results, but progress is limited and the threats remain vast. This is why the Declaration is vital: we need collective global efforts to ensure the long-term survival of all six river dolphin species,” said Daphne Willems, WWF Lead River Dolphin Rivers initiative.

Saving river dolphins requires accelerating efforts to protect and restore their rivers, including some of the greatest and most important rivers on Earth - Amazon, Indus, Ganges, Mekong, Orinoco, Yangtze. The health of these rivers is critical to hundreds of millions of people and extraordinary biodiversity. Protecting and restoring them is also central to climate adaptation since healthy rivers and wetlands can help mitigate the impacts of extreme floods and droughts.

                      The Declaration serves as a roadmap for coordinated efforts to ensure the long-term survival of these species and the preservation of the ecosystems they inhabit. We must continue to advocate for policies and initiatives that prioritize the protection of biodiversity and the conservation of our planet's precious natural resources.

                                This is quite encouraging...we should all join hands and help save all species before they becomes extinct..they are as important as any other organism in the world.

                                  There are only six extant species of river dolphins left in the world today and they are all endangered or critically endangered. This is because pollution, dams, shipping and bycatch have taken their toll on this iconic species. Great that WWF has undertaking to protect them.
