Rare Irrawaddy Dolphins Spotted In West Kalimantan, Indonesia

Irrawaddy dolphins have been discovered for the first time in West Kalimantan, a part of Indonesian Borneo best known for its dense tropical forests and rich wildlife.

"The dolphin survey we conducted in Kubu Raya and Kayong Utara waters is only a preliminary survey, and we are hoping to continue studying the species in other rivers in the upper parts such as in Kapuas, Sejenuh and Mendawa," he said. BPSPL is currently working with WWF-Indonesia and other relevant partners to monitor the dolphins as well as to identify other actions to enhance species protection. Source: asianscientist.com-WWF.
