A Gangetic dolphin (Platanista gangetica), over seven feet long, is found dead in Halda River of Chattogram’s Raozan upazila.
A Supreme Court lawyer today filed a writ petition with the High Court seeking its directive on the authorities concerned of the government to immediately take necessary steps to prevent killing Halda river dolphins and to protect them.
The sinking of a coal-laden vessel on Saturday has prompted the government to ban again the operation of all vessels in the Shela River, a dolphin sanctuary in the Sundarbans.
“A dolphin's smile is the greatest deception. It creates the illusion that they are always happy.” Originally stated by dolphin activist Richard O'Barry, these famous lines manage to throw some light on these majestic creatures of the aquatic ecosystem that have enthralled us for long, captivated the human mind and soul, inspired many movies and captured the imagination of children and adults alike.
Terrified Dolphin swims up to man to plead for him to rescue it from poachers.
