The document summarizes the status of conservation efforts for the critically endangered Irrawaddy freshwater dolphin population found in Indonesia's Mahakam River. It notes that the population consists of approximately 43 individuals and their habitat is threatened by activities like wood plantations, mining, dams, and bycatch in fishing nets. Research discussed in the document showed that boat traffic significantly disrupted the dolphins' behavior. The document recommends continuing conservation efforts including monitoring the population, educating local communities who support protection efforts, and establishing protected areas to help ensure the survival of this unique dolphin population if their habitat and food supply can be protected.
