In 2017 the IUCN declared the baiji critically endangered. The long-nosed river dolphin is also known as the Yangtze River dolphin, as its habitat is China’s Yangtze River. The last documented sighting of the baiji was in 2002, although Baiji Foundation scientists traveled over 3,200 km up the Yangtze River to seek them out in 2006. Their expedition was unsuccessful, and the foundation’s ensuing report stated that the baiji was functionally instinct.

The recently extinct animal is the first dolphin species driven to extinction by humans, says Whale and Dolphin Conservation. Dams and human water management for shipping lanes and other transportation, pollution, and overfishing have caused the creature’s downfall.
