Irrawaddy dolphins founded western Borneo Waters

Conservation organization WWF said it had seen 18 Irrawaddy dolphins are threatened with extinction in the waters off Indonesia in Kalimantan. WWF calls for greater protection of the habitat of animals.

Not much data about the Irrawaddy dolphin and there has been no comprehensive survey conducted to determine the global population.
