The most endangered cetacean in the world, the Baiji, or Yangtze River Dolphin, has been sighted for the first time since last year’s scientific expedition, during which no single Baiji was found. It was widely feared that the dolphin species had become completely extinct. The Baiji is a freshwater dolphin whose only habitat is the Yangtze River in China.
This blog tries to explore the lives of rivers and their inter-dependence with the basin communities and ecosystems in a holistic perspectives. It seeks to share the influences of changing natural and anthropogenic processes on the river-scapes and how the resultant changes in river-scapes influence the livelihoods and ecosystems. Taking an integrated approach of river-basin management, it aims to enhance basin-literacy by linking the processes in river-scape, land-scape and human-scape.
