PHNOM PENH – Cambodian Premier Hun Sen on Monday ordered the creation of conservation zones on the Mekong River to protect critically endangered dolphins, after three were killed by fishing nets and lines last month.
Their population has been in steady decline since the first census was taken in 1997, dropping from 200 that year to around 90 currently because of habitat loss and destructive fishing practices. “The Mekong River, which is home to near-extinct dolphins and fish species, must be well managed so that dolphins will not die from entanglement in gill nets,” he said.“The dolphin areas must be protected completely,” he said, adding that the animals’ presence contributed to local tourism.The deaths alarmed conservationists, who called for both day and night patrols to protect the remaining dolphins from being killed by illegal fishing.
