Urge world leaders to end plastic pollution

Range and Habitat
This endangered species is found only in the lower parts of the Indus River in Pakistan and in the Beas River, a tributary of the Indus, in India. |
Interesting info
Indus River dolphins have adapted to life in a muddy river and are functionally blind. They rely on echolocation to navigate, communicate, and hunt prey including prawns, catfish, and carp. |

|
|
There may be fewer than 2,000 Indus River dolphins. The biggest threat to this endangered species is habitat fragmentation from the construction of dams and irrigation barrages. WWF works to protect these dolphins from other threats, such as pollution, accidental capture in fishing gear, and becoming trapped in canals. |
