The Indus river Dolphin is one of the world`s most endanger
cetaceans with a total population of just a few hundreds
individuals. Ecological interest in the species was aroused in
the 1970`s and inter mittend but largely un- coordinated
monitoring of a number as continued never since. Barrages
cutting the river in to biologically up stream combine with the
pressure associated with a growing population in a Third World
country pollution such as fragmentation and literacy combine to
put the species under threat. The establishment of a dolphin
Reserve between the Guddu and Sukkur barrages in Sindh has made
a positive contribution to dolphin conservation but a more
proper approach is advocated here. Accepting that little can be
done to improve the natural impacts, approaches reducing the
pollution load of the river water, particularly in low flows, by
natural filtration are advocated. G.S. Gachal, F.M. Slater ,
