Executive summary: The alarmingly low levels of several of these dolphin populations has meant that a number have been officially classified "critically endangered".The proposed adjustment in the level of protection is a necessary measure to help protect these rare dolphins.Trade in the live individuals has been difficult to monitor and regulate as most live-capture operations in SouthEast Asia have been poorly regulated and documented.This has made it difficult to identify the source populations of individual Irrawaddy dolphins once they are on display at a facility.
