| description | The realities of baiji conservation are discussed. It is asserted that the baiji has been a conservation cause celebre over the last 15 years. But there is precious little evidence of this vanishing creature's supposed celebrity. No large nongovernmental organization has campaigned forcefully or invested more than a pittance to the cause; most have simply looked the other way. For its part, the Chinese governmental seems to have weathered the occasional squall of international outrage over the baiji's imminent demise without making any serious investment. It is concluded that if no concerted effort is made to establish captive populations of such species, using the best that state-of-the-art husbandry has to offer, their record of survival and reproduction in captivity would never improve, making it a classic self-fulfilling prophecy. |
