*[Enwl-eng] Save the last endangered river dolphins!

[ENWL]

            This highly-endangered dolphin just became a whole lot more 
scarce. Protect waterways from pollution to save the animals!

                 For years, scientists thought that a rare dolphin was one 
of the most endangered marine mammals on Earth. These blind, ecolocating 
mammals swim in the murky waters of the Indus and Ganges Rivers that run 
through India, Nepal, and Bangladesh, showing unique adaptations to their 
ecosystems. Now, it turns out the situation is even more dire. In fact, 
researchers have realized these animals are two distinct species, meaning 
they're twice as endangered as previously thought.

                  Now categorized as the Indus river dolphins and the Ganges 
river dolphins, researchers estimate that only a few thousand of each 
species remain alive today. The main threats to their survival include 
environmental degradation, such as pollution and water contamination — which 
are a direct result of human action. It's imperative that we ensure the 
health of these rivers in order to keep these dolphins alive. Luckily, some 
local communities are already working on this, but we must lend our support. 
Tell the United Nations to commit resources and financing to help local 
communities work together to reduce water pollution and save these dolphins!

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Around 3,000 Ganges river dolphins exist in the world 
today, but their numbers are declining fast. Tell international governments 
to work together and protect these critically endangered dolphins now!
