In 2007, the baiji was declared functionally extinct. Dr. Ding Wang had spent his career trying to save it, and he watched it disappear from the Yangtze River forever. Then he made a decision: it would not happen twice.
Nearly twenty years later, the Yangtze finless porpoise, known in China as the smiling angel of the Yangtze, is the only critically endangered small cetacean on Earth that is recovering. The wild population stopped declining in 2022 and has climbed to 1,426, a 40 percent increase since 2017.
This week on Robin’s Nest, Dr. Robin Ganzert sits down with Dr. Wang, newly named recipient of the Wolfgang Kiessling International Prize for Species Conservation, to talk about four decades on one river, the loss that changed everything, and why he believes the porpoise’s survival depends on whether people are willing to change.
