Seventh Mekong Dolphin Calf Spotted, Signaling Conservation Success

A Joyous Discovery: A New Addition to the Mekong Dolphin Family
Excitement filled the air in Kratie province as conservationists celebrated the sighting of the seventh freshwater Mekong Dolphin calf. The discovery, made in the serene depths of Kampi deep pool, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to protect this critically endangered species.

The sighting of the Irrawaddy dolphin calf, a species facing critical endangerment, was a momentous occasion for conservationists and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The diligent work of the Fisheries Administration (FiA) and WWF Cambodia, alongside local authorities and river guards, has been instrumental in safeguarding these majestic creatures.

As the number of dolphin births continues to rise, it underscores the success of conservation efforts in Cambodia. However, the journey is far from over. Authorities urge the public, especially fishermen, to remain vigilant and report any dolphin sightings outside protected areas. Together, we can ensure the survival of these national treasures for generations to come.
