14 DAY TRIAL // Earlier this week, conservationists drew attention to the fact that there are worryingly few pink dolphins left to inhabit Hong Kong's surrounding waters.
Although an official headcount for 2013 is yet to be shared with the public, the Honk Kong Dolphin Conservation Society says that, back in 2011, only 78 such animals were left to call these waters their home.
Since then, little progress has been made in terms of keeping the species from becoming extinct.
Huffington Post reports that said green-oriented group is now asking that authorities and high officials in Hong Kong take immediate measures and implements conservation programs aimed at safeguarding this species.
Conservationists say that water pollution is what caused the pink dolphins’ population in the waters surrounding Hong Kong to drop to such an extent.
Despite their color, these dolphins are known to the scientific community as Chinese white dolphins.
