Saving Rare Chinese White Dolphins.
Saving Rare Chinese White Dolphins – “Unforgettable Experience!”
If you have been on this website before, you know that we love our Green Earth. Our animals. Our sacred land. The very soil that gives us life.
And in a time when reckless Progress has endangered so much of our Earth, I have praised those people, those nations, who struggle to recover the balance of life and survival.
What started only a hundred and fifty years ago — perhaps it was begun by the Germans, who coined the word Ecology — the Re-greening of Mother Earth is showing a hopeful recovery. It’s now a truly International Restoration. For instance, when you follow social media, it’s clear that a large number of Green celebrations are coming out of India.
And China.
There are two nations that couldn’t be more opposite than Canada and China.
Canada is a new nation, a Wilderness Nation of only 40 million souls. Our stories, our cultural heroes, come out of our vast forests and wild places. Canada’s contribution to world culture is the Realistic Animal Story.
While China is a thriving nation of over a billion people. With a rich culture over 4000 years old. Our world’s oldest civilization. They have given Humankind so much.
And yet, like Canada, China too is Greening.
Consider the dolphin.
Rare, beautiful, intelligent — dolphins have intrigued us for a lifetime.
They’re strange creatures, yes, but endangered. And if you love our Living World, you feel as I do about them. Dolphins deserve to survive. And Live Free!
BREAKING NEWS! Here, from a recent press release, Good News Indeed. A news report from chinadaily.com.cn:
“I thought we would be lucky if we saw a dolphin in the distance,” said Julie Laursen.
The China Storyteller Partnership interview group were on the open water. Just off the Leizhou Peninsula. Having a perfect “encounter” with rare Chinese white dolphins.
“But the dolphins have come all the way up to us,” Danish self-media blogger Julie Odsgaard Laursen expressed great surprise at being able to interact with dolphins up close.
A white dolphin leaps out of the sea surface of the Leizhou Peninsula.
Turkish self-media blogger Neslihan Kilavuz, when talking about China’s environmental protection efforts, said that “China attaches great importance to nature and has taken practical actions, which have deeply moved me.”
Douglas Dueno, an American expert from China Daily, invites people from around the world to come to Zhanjiang to see Chinese white dolphins.
He said that “witnessing and capturing the moment when the white dolphins leapt out of the water was a truly unforgettable experience.”
Protecting the Chinese white dolphins
The China Storyteller Partnership interview group closely observed the Chinese white dolphins in Leizhou Bay, South China’s Guangdong province, on September 25.
Because the nearshore waters of the Leizhou Peninsula are scattered with numerous islands and reefs, where the rare Chinese white dolphins thrive and reproduce healthily.
The population of Chinese white dolphins here has become the second largest in the country.
There are only over 6,000 Chinese white dolphins in the world, and a thousand of them gather off Leizhou.
The municipal-level nature reserve for the Chinese white dolphins in Leizhou Bay is a source of hope for this magnificent species.
And source of our love and respect for what the Chinese have accomplished.
More about the rare Chinese White Dolphin: “Though it’s usually called a Chinese white dolphin, it is not really WHITE. The Chinese white dolphin is grey and spotted when it’s young. Its spots fade and colour changes to pink when it grows older.
“The species’ common names are: Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, Chinese white dolphin, pink dolphin; its species name is: Sousa chinensis.” Chinese White Dolphin – Interesting facts WWF
