    What are the circumstances surrounding the possible extinction of the Indus River Dolphin?

    Question #66677. Asked by zbeckabee. (Jun 08 06 2:28 PM)

    		The reason for the dramatic decline in the Indus river dolphin distribution is because the habitat has been fragmented by numerous barrages, and large-scale removal of water for irrigation has concentrated pollutants, reduced and modified available dolphin habitats.
