Why are they taking the Dolphin out of the water? They should let them be, rare species like these should be protected by law, these are our national animals.

Rescues of blind indus dolfin

Rescues of Blind Indus Dolphin photo by jahangir khan

THE Blind Indus Dolphin or Bulhan as it is called in local parlance, is a fresh water mammal and considered to be the second most threatened species among river dolphins the world over.

The species of dolphin, endemic to Pakistan, survives in an extremely shrinking habitat in the River Indus from Chashma Barrage to Kotri Barrage (an area of 1,300kms).

Due to the shrinkage of their habitat and division of its population into four to five groups among the barrages, its breeding behaviour has also drastically changed. Many natural and manmade problems have posed as serious threats to this unique specie. Among others, the stranding of dolphins into the barrage canals is the main problem and a serious threat to the Bulhan.

Since water scarcity has arisen in the Indus, the dolphins have moved to the canals, perhaps for shelter, food or breeding. When the mighty Indus flowed with full capacity, no reports were received regarding strandings. But as soon as it shrunk, these creatures have started moving about for survival.

oohhi thought its because some times they go into canals by mistake and as canals dont have enough depth and water, they are stranded their

anyways, i just readin wikipedia their population in recent years have increased and we have like 400 dolphins so its not entirely a bad news, but like snow leopards they need to be breed in captivity like pandas who are being maintained some what in captivity
