Prioritising river stretches using multi-modelling habitat suitability of Gangetic dolphin (Platanista gangetica) as a flagship species for aquatic biodiversity conservation in the Ganga River Basin, India
2022, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :Its extirpation from river systems serves as a tool to measure the extent of human footprints exploiting riverine resources (Sinha et al., 2010; Sinha and Kannan, 2014; Behera et al., 2014). Once commonly distributed in major river systems between longitudes 77° E and 89° E in India, Nepal and Bangladesh (Anderson 1879, Smith, 1993; Mohan et al., 1997), the species is now restricted to disjunct stretches of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Barak river system in India (Wakid, 2009; Behera et al., 2014; Sinha and Kannan, 2014; Choudhury et al., 2019), Karnali, Sapta Koshi and Narayani river systems in Nepal (Shrestha, 1989; Paudel et al., 2015) and Meghna, Karnaphuli and Sangu river systems in Bangladesh (Reeves et al. 2000; Smith et al. 2006). The GD is now isolated into small groups and is under severe threat due to a wide array of factors such as flow modification, habitat degradation, prey depletion, noise pollution, poaching and net entanglement (Dey et al., 2019; Paudel and Koprowski, 2020: Kolipakam et al., 2022).

2017, Encyclopedia of Marine Mammals, Third EditionIrrigation demands aggravate fishing threats to river dolphins in Nepal
2016, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :Prior to 2010, the park authorities had provided fishing licenses to traditional fishermen, which allowed them to fish both within and outside the protected river stretch of the Geruwa, with strict restrictions on use of gillnet mesh size enforced by the Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC) of Nepal. This kept fishing activity in reasonable check until 2009 at much lower intensities than in 1990, as reported by Smith (1993). However, in 2010 (independent of the flood event), fishing licenses were terminated by DNPWC because a few fishermen were found to be involved in poaching of rhinoceros in the park, and hence fishing restricted to near-complete levels.
