Speak up for our dolphins! – Use WWF's latest interactive map to learn about the threats to Chinese white dolphins

For years, Chinese white dolphins, also known as pink dolphins, in Hong Kong waters have been distressed by the consequences of human activities – habitat loss, water pollution and heavy marine traffic, to name just a few. The proposed third runway construction by the Airport Authority Hong Kong (AAHK) will worsen their environment and further threaten this already endangered species. The survival of the pink dolphins is now at stake. WWF has produced an interactive map to illustrate the cumulative threats they are facing. You will be shocked by their dire situation. Click here to find out.

WWF is calling for a thorough analysis of the social and environmental costs and benefits of the new runway project before a decision is made. The Hong Kong government needs to act responsibly and introduce and implement a science-based dolphin management plan based on global best practices, which include proactive threat management to ensure that our dolphins will survive in Hong Kong waters and be safeguarded from future development projects and other threats.
