WWF is deeply concerned with the cumulative impacts from habitat loss and disturbance from previous and upcoming developments. Many other existing or upcoming development projects involve dredging, dumping and reclamation etc. These threats, combined with a cocktail of
other threats and challenges, are definitely a danger to the Chinese white dolphin, which need to inhabit the remaining limited water areas in order to survive.
Major development projects causing permanent loss of Chinese white dolphin habitats in Hong Kong western waters include:
