The Bolivian River Dolphin (Inia boliviensis) is an endangered freshwater dolphin species found in the rivers of Bolivia. The remaining population of Bolivian River Dolphins faces threats such as habitat degradation, pollution, and illegal fishing practices. Dams and water development projects also disrupt their natural habitat and migration patterns. Conservation efforts involve habitat protection, conservation education, and sustainable fishing practices to mitigate the threats to their survival and ensure the long-term viability of this endangered species.
