Saving Cambodia's dolphins

The video discusses the critical situation of the Mekong freshwater dolphin, also known as the Irrawaddy dolphin, which is critically endangered with fewer than 80 individuals left. River guards are working to protect these dolphins from threats like fishing techniques and habitat destruction. Despite these efforts, the dolphin population remains at risk due to massive development projects, particularly dam construction, which disrupts the ecosystem. The video highlights the need for international cooperation and new conservation strategies to prevent the extinction of this species.
