"Thankfully, awareness of dolphin protection has significantly increased among the locals," said Pan. "Dolphins used to be viewed as enemies, as they were competing for fishery resources with locals. Now local residents know that protecting the dolphins is akin to protecting humans."

"The population of Chinese white dolphins is expected to exceed 500 in 35 to 40 years, provided the local ecological environment doesn't change much," said Pan.
