Yangtze river dolphins probably now extinctResearchers claim the type of freshwater dolphin found only in China is now "likely to be extinct". The last sighting was from a few years ago, but offically it has to be 50 years before a species can be declared "whoops".

Well, China has a lot to answer for, in terms of displacing all those people and all the environmental damage it's caused.
Of course, I can't also help understanding Chinese resentment at the West second-guessing their every move... since our environmental and human rights record are far from clean.
No good guys in this world! -
