AWARENESS CAMPAIGN TO CONSERVE ENDANGERED RIVER DOLPHINS IN SUNDARBANS

The world’s largest mangrove forest, the Sundarbans support Asia’s last two remaining species of freshwater dolphins – the Endangered Ganges River Dolphin (Platanista gangetica), and the Vulnerable Irrawaddy Dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris). Both species are classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. To conserve these endangered River Dolphin Species, POJF in association with UNDP Bangladesh has produced informative Documentaries, TVC, Radio Promos, to raise awareness and build capacity of the communities and stakeholders to effectively manage the existing protected areas and ensure conservation activism.
