I started this blog imagining that I would write three neat articles about the Yangtze finless porpoise and then move on to a next topic. What ended up happening is that I got so depressed from reading about the low survival prospects for this animal that I couldn't even write about it.
Fortunately, as of October 28 of this year, China's Ministry of Agriculture declared the Yangtze finless porpoise "first glass protected species," putting it in the same category as the great panda. It will now get real attention and the Chinese government will be able to put in place stricter protection measures.
Thank you, The WaterHub, for the good news.
Now I can write about the science.
