"KARACHI – Eleven Asian and South American countries signed a declaration
Tuesday to save the world’s six surviving species of river dolphins from
extinction.

The landmark declaration, “Global Declaration for River Dolphins,” was signed
in the Colombian capital of Bogota in the face of a “seemingly irreversible
decline” in global river dolphin numbers, according to a statement from the
World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

It aims to halt the decline of all river dolphin species and increase the most
vulnerable populations.

The declarations will scale up collective efforts to safeguard the remaining
river dolphin species by developing and funding measures to eradicate gillnets,
reduce pollution, expand research and increase protected areas, the statement
added.

States that adopted the declaration include Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil,
Cambodia Colombia, Ecuador, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Peru and Venezuela. There
was also a representative from Indonesia who was responsible for the Mahakam
River."
