Ganges River dolphin (Platanista gangetica) seeks help
The conservation of wildlife species in the Indian sub-continent has often been influenced by their aesthetic, socio-cultural and religious importance, prior to their ecological role. This system over the years has certainly been biased towards the terrestrial ecosystems affecting the aquatic species more severely. One such aquatic species towards which the conservationists have been passive is the endangered Ganges River dolphin Platanista gangetica, locally known as Susu.
