Mekong Dolphin, a national treasure of Cambodia

Featured Replies

Psod Kbal Trolork or Mekong dolphin or Irrawaddy dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris) is a national treasure of Cambodia which requires participation from all stakeholders in its conservation. Currently, such species of dolphin is found only in six countries in the world. Cambodia is among the six countries and has the largest population of Irrawaddy dolphins swimming up and down along the Mekong River around Prek Kampi in Kratie province.

 

Mr. Ouk Vibol, Director of Fisheries Conservation, Fisheries Administration (FiA), Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries told AKP that Irrawaddy dolphin is considered to be one of the most precious living treasures in Cambodia as well as in the world, and the loss of each dolphin has made the conservation team very sad, but also very happy when there is an increase in the dolphin population.

 

According to Mr Vibol, the dolphin population has stabilised without much decrease or increase. There were 80 Irrawaddy dolphins in Cambodia in 2015, 92 in 2017, and 89 in 2020.

Surely that population is too small to be sustainable, not enough genetic diversity.  Also, a chemical incident or inconsiderate boat could put a huge dent in the numbers.
