		The river dolphin is found in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh in the Brahmaputra, Ganges, Meghna, Karnaphuli and Hoogli river.

		The main threats to river dolphins are fragmentation of their habitat, increasing levels of pollution, depletion of their prey for human consumption, boat traffic, and the perils posed by fishing equipment.

		The Karnali river in Nepal (called Ghaghara in India) is the furthest upstream that the dolphins are found in the Ganga system, the species not being seen in the tributaries further to the west.

		Heavier siltation in the rivers due to deforestation and soil erosion in catchment areas, as well as the constriction of flow between embankments in many parts, have decreased the depth of rivers and made it difficult for dolphins to navigate.
