Project aims to conserve nearly extinct species
Four finless porpoises from Poyang Lake in East China's Jiangxi province were relocated on Monday as part of a program to conserve the critically endangered species.
The mammals, two males and two females, were transferred to the Hewangmiao Nature Reserve in Hubei province along traffic-free sections of the Yangtze River, according to sources at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Hydrobiology.
