Still Waters Posted July 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 1, 2013 There's now only one cetacean species to be found in the Yangtze river, and it is in serious danger of extinction. The conservation status of the Yangtze finless porpoise – the world's only freshwater porpoise – has been upgraded to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species's highest risk level: critically endangered. http://www.newscient...ml#.UdHR_tjd4dU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted July 1, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I think it would be a good idea to breed them in captivity and then turn them loose in the oxbow lakes like suggested. The Yangtze river is polluted and with all the boat traffic on it they don't stand a chance there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
