Abstract

The Yangtze finless porpoise, an ecologically vital species, is currently facing severe threats from water pollution in its native habitat, the Yangtze River. This study examines the various sources of this pollution, which include industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and domestic waste, and assesses their adverse effects on the porpoise population. Notable impacts include increased mortality, reproductive challenges, and loss of habitat. The paper evaluates the effectiveness of existing conservation strategies and governance mechanisms, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement of pollution control laws and the establishment of protected areas. It also suggests the integration of advanced water treatment technologies and a comprehensive monitoring system involving both governmental and non-governmental stakeholders. The article underscores the importance of community engagement and education, as well as international cooperation in conservation efforts, to ensure the long-term survival of the Yangtze finless porpoise. This comprehensive approach aims to mitigate the negative effects of pollution and foster a sustainable environment for this critical species.
