River dolphins research

River dolphins are unique freshwater mammals found in rivers and estuaries, primarily in South America and Asia. Research on these dolphins focuses on their behavior, ecology, and conservation status, as many species are endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and fishing. Scientists study their communication, social structures, and adaptations to river life. Understanding river dolphins helps researchers assess the health of freshwater ecosystems, as these animals are indicators of environmental quality. Conservation efforts aim to protect their habitats and promote sustainable practices to ensure their survival and that of the rivers they inhabit.
