湖南洞庭湖40余天发现12只江豚死亡

Every April/May is this "National Treasure" river dolphin's most active and most vigorous season. However, this year from March 3rd to April 15th over 12 dolphins have been found dead. It is reported that the river dolphin has been included in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) as a second level protected animal, and has been called the Yangtze River's "living fossil" and "water giant panda".

每年的四五月份是“国宝”江豚活动最频繁、生命力最旺盛的季节。但今年3月3日到4月15日，湖南岳阳洞庭湖连续续发现12只江豚死亡。图为4月15日，湖南省岳阳市江豚保护志愿者在雨中守护死亡的江豚。
