Last chance for China's dolphin
By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/5122074.stm


The baiji is thought to be the world's most endangered mammal
Zoologists have developed a plan to save the Yangtze River dolphin, probably the world's most endangered mammal, from extinction.

They hope to take some dolphins from the Yangtze and rear them in a nearby lake, protected from fishermen.

The species is threatened by overfishing which removes its food, industrialisation, boat collisions, and through being caught in fishing nets.

The most recent surveys found only 17 living individuals.
