when did the amazon river dolphin become endangered
Amazon river dolphin In 2008, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) expressed concern for captured botos for use as bait in the Central Amazon, which is an emerging problem that has spread on a large scale. The species is listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species Fauna and Flora (CITES), and Appendix II of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals,[44] because it has an unfavorable conservation status or would benefit significantly from international co-operation organized by tailored agreements.
