Abstract | Beiji dolphin or Chinese river dolphin is a cetacean living in China's Yangtze River. What is alarming is that its population has drastically shrunk from several thousand in the 1950s to fewer than 100 at present. If this decline is maintained, extinction of the animal is just around the corner. |
