A critically
endangered Gangetic river dolphin was spotted in the Narayani River at Bhajauli
near Nawalparasi and Chitwan districts of central Nepal. No formal sightings of
endangered dolphins were reported in Narayani since 1994. In 1986 five Gangetic
dolphins were recorded in Narayani. They were also found in Mahakali River
about three decades ago but their population is declining rapidly due to
intensive human activities and habitat disturbance by dam constructions,
pollution and over fishing.
