Thousands of rare Irrawaddy dolphins have been found deep in Bangladesh’s mangrove forests, according to a wildlife advocacy group

The find provides hope for the vulnerable species found only in small numbers elsewhere.

But the newly discovered population is already threatened by climate change and fishing nets, the Wildlife Conservation Society said.

Nearly 6,000 Irrawaddy dolphins, which are related to orcas or killer whales, were found living in freshwater regions of Bangladesh’s Sundarbans mangrove forest and the adjacent waters of the Bay of Bengal.

In the late 80s I started investigating UFOs and crop circles and joined the CCCS (Centre for Crop Circle Studies) and a local group researching strange sightings and reports along the south coast of Dorset (UK). In the early ’90s I started my own research group called SPS (Strange Phenomena Studies), this was renamed in 2004 to Cryptoworld.
