DWINDLING POPULATION OF DOLPHINS IN KARNALI RIVER- NEPAL



A study on Dolphins of Karnali River suggests that the population distribution and its range have been declining by 0.495 and 1.165 km respectively every year since 1982 (first study). Furthermore, the study underlines that river pollution, low water level, decrease in prey, change in land use and habitat fragmentation, are threatening the existence of dolphins.
