		The blame lies with harmful human activities, including pollution, dam construction, blasting of new shipping channels, intensive riverside development, and unsustainable fishing techniques that deplete the eels on which the baiji feed.
		In recent years, another small Yangtze cetacean, the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides), has also become threatened.
		Both species are likely to perish unless an effective conservation strategy can be rapidly implemented.
