Not any more though, he says happily, crediting an innovative programme to increase awareness that has not only given the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwildlife.org\/species\/indus-river-dolphin\">endangered mammal<\/a> a new lease of life but also increased his income.<\/p>\n<p>The training and awareness imparted by the ecotourism project launched by the NGO <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stfp.org\/\">Sustainable Tourism Foundation Pakistan<\/a> (STFP) has changed attitudes completely, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was like a big but useless and dangerous fish for us before but now we know that it is a human friendly animal,\u201d said Hussain. \u201cWe also know that if we protect the\u00a0dolphin, it will help increase our income.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A large number of tourists from across Pakistan have started coming to Taunsa Barrage in Punjab\u2019s Muzaffargarh district, giving a fillip to the dolphin and also to the local economy, with fishermen such as Hussain as well as local craftsperson and others benefiting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy monthly income has jumped from Rs.3,000 (approximately $30) to Rs.5,000 ($50) in just a few months due to the boat safaris.

by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iucn.org\/news_homepage\/news_by_date\/?14327\/Steps-Needed-to-Mitigate-Coastal-Erosion-Threats-to-Communities-through-Scientific-Approaches\">International Union for Conservation of Nature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the project is to protect and conserve dolphins from threats such as accidental killing through net entanglement, unsustainable fishing practices, entrapment in irrigation canals and deliberate killing for its oil that is used as fish bait and in some traditional medicines and pollution, said Aftab Rana, STFP president.<\/p>\n<p>Equally, the project also aims at boosting livelihoods of fishermen by promoting ecotourism in the region.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Community involvement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The NGO is training about 800 fishermen families live along the Taunsa barrage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fishermen are being helped upgrade their boats, fishing skills, fishnets and relevant equipment as part of the scheme to save the dolphins,\u201d said Rana.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the community was also being helped to develop local artefacts to attract tourists and generate income from sources other than fishing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe income from ecotourism will be an incentive and reward for the poor fishermen community and this will encourage them to be friendlier with the dolphin and play an active role in conserving one of the most unique species living in the world today,\u201d Rana said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe project is working to minimise threats (to the dolphin) through local<br \/>\ncommunity involvement and empowerment,\u201d he said, adding that two teams of friends of the Indus river dolphin have been established to manage rescue operations in the area and train some 20 local fishermen in dolphin\u00a0rescue skills.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10110\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10110\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Fishermen_Indus.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10110\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/Fishermen_Indus.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing on the Indus (Image by Sustainable Tourism Foundation Pakistan)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fishing on the Indus (Image by Sustainable Tourism Foundation Pakistan)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A vocational training centre for women is also being opened up in the area to train the women in local products like embroidery and display them for the tourists, said Javed Iqbal, president of the Indus Welfare Foundation, an NGO that works for the rights of fishing communities.<\/p>\n<p>He said a committee comprising activists from the community had also been set up to promote social enterprises and local songs and dances. \u201cWe are working on a complete package that includes monthly income increase of the fishermen, conserving the dolphins and increasing its population as well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The government should award public waters\u2019 contracts to local fishermen instead of wealthy contractors to alleviate poverty and sense of deprivation in the community, he suggested, adding that Pakistan is the only country where provincial governments auction public waters to contractors to generate revenue.<\/p>\n<p>According to Iqbal, \u201cIf the government puts an end to the contract system, it will automatically treble income of the fishermen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>More about dolphins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Indus river dolphin is also known as blind dolphin as it is functionally blind due to its unique adaptation to living in a turbid river environment, said Z.B. Mirza, an expert on wildlife of Pakistan and one of the founding members of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wwfpak.org\/\">WWF-Pakistan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, he said, dolphins were found in large numbers right from the Indus estuary up into the foothills of the Himalayas but now the numbers in the Indus had dwindled to just around 1,400, which is not a healthy number for the survival of any wild animal species.<\/p>\n<p>The population and diversity of wildlife, including not just dolphins but also crocodiles, otters and many fish species, was shrinking due to numerous<br \/>\nhuman interventions. \u201cThe Indus river dolphin is also facing serious threats of extinction; therefore it is our collective responsibility to take effective measures to conserve it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wwf.panda.org\/about_our_earth\/all_publications\/living_planet_report\/\">WWF Living Planet Report 2014<\/a> has urged Pakistan to protect biodiversity<br \/>\nand reduce its ecological footprint as the global populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have declined by 52% in the 40-year period measured in the current edition. It also says the decline of biodiversity in the wider Asia-Pacific region ranks only behind Latin America in the same period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan\u2019s
