Champassak extends dolphin conservation zone
Authorities and residents of Champassak province, especially those living in Hang Sadam and Hang Khon villages, Khong district, recently agreed to extend the conservation zone of the Mekong Dolphin, making it seven times larger. The move has been taken in a bid to conserve the population of critically endangered Mekong River Dolphins (also known as Irrawaddy Dolphins).
