    Dolphins

    A dolphin is a mammal which lives in the sea and looks like a large fish
    with a pointed mouth. Unfortunately they are in danger

    Since the 1980s, river dolphin populations have plummeted by 73


    percent due to an onslaught ofthreats,including. unsustainable fishing
    practices, hydroelectric dams, pollution from agriculture, industry and
    mining, and habitat loss. The recent deaths of more than 150 river
    dolphins in the Amazon’s drought-ravaged Lake Tefé show that climate
    change is becoming an increasingly serious threat to their survival.

    The endangered Indus River dolphin population has nearly doubled in


    the past 20 years due to collective action by government, communities
    and NGOs, includingthe contribution of WWF. However, there are only
    about 2,000 Indus River dolphins left and WWF is working with
    communities to reduce pollution, free dolphins entangled in fishing gear
    and rescue dolphins trapped in irrigation canals.

    Dolphins were discovered during the Neogene Cenozoic (period


    between 23 and 2.6 million years ago)¡It’s a shame that such a fantastic
    animal is in danger!

    ¿How can we help these animals?

    •Raise awareness, for example, by supporting World River Dolphin Day.

    •Collaborate with industries to address water quality and quantity


    issues.

    • Promote river dolphin research and threat monitoring

    • Eradicate unsustainable fishing practices

    • Create a network of protected river habitats

    • Increase the effectiveness of river dolphin management


    Hi, I'm Teo. I want to tell you about some ways to prevent the extinction of freshwater
    dolphins. Nut first i am going to tell you the reasons why they are becoming extinct.
    One of them is unsustainable fishing, which is industrial/uncontrolled fishing. A lot of
    dolphins are caught, so I propose the following: Government are going to control fishing and
    force industries to use rods and not nets. Or fishing in places where dolphins are NOT
    found.
    Another reason is hydroelectric dams. These cause reduction of oxygen in water, changes
    in temperature and greater proliferation of diseases. To reverse this I propose to stop
    using these dams and be going to start using windmills.
    Also, the causes of the possible extinction of dolphins are pollution from agriculture,
    industry and mining.
    Agricultural pollution generates greenhouse gases for example. Pesticides as well, which
    generate accumulations of pesticides in the soil altering microbial processes and many
    other reasons (which are really too many).
    Regarding industrial pollution, the main reason is the large scale burning of fossil fuels
    such as oil, coal, gas and also the poisoned waste water that pollutes land, rivers and
    lagoons. This damages water, air, soil and human health.
    And finally mining. Some minerals like pyrite when in contact with water and air generate
    sulfuric acid that affects water and aquatic life.
    Farmers will be going to:
    Stop using pesticides in agriculture to obtain natural and fresh products without chemicals,
    and thus take care of the environment, also fertilize in a balanced way and regulate their
    use.
    Use other types of fuels in industries, such as biofuel, made from waste. Besides being a
    form of renewable energy, it could reduce waste and make a conscious use of energy.

    ¿What will happens if dolphins extinguish?

    Dolphins are important predators in their ecosystems, their extinction


    can make a unbalance food chain and affect another species who
    depend of them for food.
    That species are small fish, mackerel, squids and smalls whales. The
    other species interact with dolphins and collaborate, to help each other
    hunt and find food.
    Thank you for listening to us

    Predictions:

    •decline in population and habitat

    •more
