Fresh Water Dolphin Extinct?

The Yangtze River dolphin, in China, is "functionally extinct" according to reports. the reasons are varied, but all controllable IF people cared about their environment.  According to Wang Ding, a researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Hydrobiology and a leading expert on the baiji, dolphins like the Yangtze River dolphin  are an "indicator species" - bellwethers of the general health of an ecosystem. Their disappearance bodes ill for the Yangtze, which supports more than 400 million people, roughly 6% of the world's total population. Wang says the Yangtze is relatively unpolluted. But untrammeled commerce and massive hydrological projects like the Three Gorges Dam have dramatically altered the river's landscape. With as many as 60 boats per km of river in some areas, the Yangtze already looks less like a river than a highway during rush hour.
 What difference does it make?  Who cares you may ask. Well YOU should care. Take this quote for example: "Baiji are at the top of the food chain just like human beings," Wang says. "If the river can't support baiji, someday it won't support humans either.". which leads to another fact; China MUST expand, MUST find new land and resources for their people, for their survival. And when someones actual survival is at stake, NOTHING will stop them from protecting themselves and their interests.  Take note  chest pounding people of the U.S. You are not invincible. 
You cannot continue to demand.  You MUST learn to cooperate & compromise.  You must learn to play well with others, instead of  being the
 playground bully.  Oh and it wouldn't hurt to learn how to speak Chinese.  Think you can live without Chinese products? Think again. Maybe YOU can, but many can't.  Eliminating Chinese products from our stores will destroy AMERICAS lower class, along with many of those who like to kid themselves into thinking they're "middle class" by being up to their neck in debt, just so they can have "all the toys" their 
neighbor has.
Beware!  What happens to an (outwardly appearing) insignificant animal across the world DOES affect you.
