People are a bit aware about it but the government system is hanging round in other obstacales.I myself is Nepali and i feel pity that we are not taking any actions towards it.though the local tribals do not killthem and even river system are good enough to support thier lives,there is no good pasage between indaia and Nepal from girijapuri dam.so one of the idea is captive breeding but no one knows weather a government will put eyes on it.

[...] 264 dophins in the entire Brahmaputra River system, this population is at risk of becoming another Karnali River disaster – where now just six Ganges River Dolphins remain – if protective measures are not put into [...]

If there are only six of them left, why don’t they do what America did for the California Condor- capture them all and captive-breed them? It might save the species, and give people a chance to clean up the river. Then (if the river is well enough) their descendants could be returned to the wild.

This is terrible. As much as I dislike seeing wild animals in captivity, this is an emergency. The remaining 6 need to be rescued and placed in a safe and clean environment. It’s their only chance. Is there no place where they can be relocated? Where they can live and begin to healthily increase their numbers?

Man…the worlds worst species.
