Stop Irrawaddy Dolphins From Going Extinct

Target: Hun Sen, Prime Minister of Cambodia

Goal: Establish a protected area for the endangered Irrawaddy dolphin in Cambodia’s Mekong River to preserve their habitat and prevent their extinction.

The Irrawaddy dolphin, a critically endangered species found in Cambodia’s Mekong River, is facing an alarming decline in population. The primary threats to their survival include habitat loss, entanglement in fishing gear, and poaching for traditional medicines.

Without immediate action to address these threats, this beautiful and unique species faces the risk of extinction. To prevent this, it is crucial to establish a protected area for the Irrawaddy dolphin in their natural habitat, the Mekong River.

The establishment of a protected area will help to prevent habitat loss and ensure the survival of this endangered species. It will also provide a safe space for the dolphins to breed and raise their young without the interference of human activities.

The protection of the Irrawaddy dolphin in Cambodia’s Mekong River is not only a matter of preserving biodiversity, but also a critical step towards the sustainable management of Cambodia’s natural resources.

Therefore, we urge Prime Minister Hun Sen to take swift and decisive action to establish a protected area for the endangered Irrawaddy dolphin in Cambodia’s Mekong River. This will preserve their habitat and prevent their extinction, ensuring that future generations can continue to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of this incredible species.

Through proactive measures such as these, we can ensure a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come. Demand immediate action.
