We have chosen the Amazon River Pink Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) as the emblem for the "Saving the Willkamayu" Crusade, with the hope that this gentle and intelligent aquatic mammal will encourage you to take part in the preservation and conservation of all rivers in the planet.
Our "Ambassador", also known as "bufeo colorado" in Peru, inhabits most of the rivers in the Amazon Basin. Unfortunately, its survival is endangered due to the indiscriminate destruction of the Amazon forest and the pollution of the water courses that compose its natural habitat.
