Tonight marks the premiere of \"The Chinese White Dolphin,\" a captivating documentary series presented by the Chinese Media Group (CMG). This series offers a panoramic view of the Chinese white dolphin's living environment, migration patterns, and reproduction processes, illustrating how humans and nature coexist in harmony.
The Chinese white dolphin, classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), enjoys first-class state protection in China. These dolphins exhibit a fascinating transformation; their skin starts dark gray during youth and gradually turns white as they mature. The distinctive pink hue seen when they swim is due to vascular congestion beneath their skin.
Globally, there are approximately 6,000 Chinese white dolphins, with around 4,000 residing in China. Of these, 2,000 inhabit the Pearl River Estuary Chinese White Dolphin National Nature Reserve, located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). This reserve represents the largest habitat for Chinese white dolphins worldwide, highlighting the region's crucial role in the species' conservation.
Join us tonight to witness the beauty and resilience of the Chinese white dolphin and learn about the ongoing efforts to protect this magnificent species.
