Is it true to protect Chinese white dolphins?

Volunteer activities to protect Chinese white dolphins are real.

As the only national first-class protected wild animal among marine cetaceans in China, Chinese white dolphin is a valuable natural resource of the country, with high scientific research, economic and cultural value. In order to protect this rare marine species, the Xiamen Municipal Government established the first provincial-level Chinese White Dolphin Nature Reserve in China on 1997, and in 2000, it was upgraded to a national-level nature reserve with the approval of the State Council, becoming the first national-level Chinese White Dolphin Nature Reserve in China.

Volunteer activities to protect Chinese white dolphins have been carried out all over the country. The protection of Chinese white dolphins is a professional, systematic and public welfare undertaking, which requires the joint participation of all sectors of society. It is hoped that this volunteer activity will make the publicity and education on the protection of Chinese white dolphins more extensive, effective and targeted, guide the public to establish the concept of marine ecological civilization, promote the concern, care and participation of all sectors of society in the protection of Chinese white dolphins, and contribute to the protection of aquatic wildlife and the promotion of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.

The reason why Chinese white dolphins are on the verge of extinction

Habitat atrophy and ecosystem function degradation: In recent years, the number of coastal projects in the southeast coast of China has been increasing, and the reclamation area has been increasing, which has seriously affected the survival of Chinese white dolphins. These projects will not only lead to the fragmentation of Chinese white dolphins' habitat, but also lead to the degradation of ecosystem function in this water area due to overfishing, which is difficult to support the survival of Chinese white dolphins.

Water pollution intensifies and accidental deaths occur frequently: the most typical feature of the so-called accidental death is grounding. Statistics show that during 20 12-20 15, more than 100 Chinese white dolphins ran aground and died. Surprisingly, when the researchers tested these dolphin samples, they found trace metal elements such as mercury, lead and arsenic and some sustainable organic compounds. These substances will harm the dolphin's body, and will be passed on to the larvae through the mother, which is extremely harmful.
