Passage 3: Ganges river dolphins occur in the Ganges–Brahmaputra river system, primarily in India and Bangladesh. The IUCN lists them as endangered because of a probable population decline of at least 50% over the last fifty years and projected future declines. Dolphins have been destroyed in the upper reaches of many rivers; irrigation barrages fragment populations and water diversion further reduces dry-season habitat. The Brahmaputra is less degraded than the Ganges and is important for the subspecies’ persistence. A proposal by Oil India Ltd. to conduct seismic exploration with explosives and airguns along the Brahmaputra riverbed could have disastrous implications. Studies in two dolphin hotspots found that dolphins spent an average of 107.3 seconds underwater and 1.26 seconds above water. Fisheries bycatch was identified as a major threat. Eight river sections were identified as potential protected and community-based conservation areas. Why are Ganges river dolphins listed as endangered?
