A collaborative effort is underway in the Rupununi region to conduct a survey of the pink river dolphin in an effort to learn more about this endangered species.
A release from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) on Tuesday announced that the Manari Ranch, Field Museum Chicago, and local field biologists, supported by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), have conducted the first environmental DNA (eDNA) survey in the Rupununi Region to assess the extent of the pink river dolphin in southern Guyana.
It explained that this first-of-a-kind research is a “crucial” undertaking that will provide valuable insight into the behaviour and distribution of this species in Guyana.
