The Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Hubei Yangtze River Delta Baiji National Nature Reserve have relocated over 60 finless porpoise as part of a project started in May. Yangtze River’s finless porpoise, a freshwater mammal, was declared critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2012, with only around 1,000 left in the Yangtze River and two lakes that are linked to the busy waterway.[Photo/Xinhua]
