Remember this post of mine?

Well, guess what...

An extensive survey of its habitat failed to find any sign of the baiji

A freshwater dolphin found only in China is now "likely to be extinct", a team of scientists has concluded.

"The researchers failed to spot any Yangtze river dolphins, also known as baijis, during an extensive six-week survey of the mammals' habitat.

The team, writing in Biology Letters journal, blamed unregulated fishing as the main reason behind their demise.

If confirmed, it would be the first extinction of a large vertebrate for over 50 years."

And what have YOU been doing? Don't get me wrong, I haven't been doing everything I possibly can, but every damn little bit helps.

What if we all tried just a little harder? 6-and-a-half billion is a lot of people...
