The Pink River Dolphin (Inia geoffrensis) engage in solitary hunting/feeding strategies during the high water season when their prey fishes disperse into the floodplains. At river confluences, as many as 35 pink dolphins cooperatively herd and bank fish, often in association with gray dolphins. The pink river dolphin population in the Amazon basin is not known exactly, but studies in the Upper Basin of the Peruvian Rainforest indicate that the number of pink dolphins from 18 years ago has risen from eight pink dolphins on the Yarapa River to 35 plus. Empowering the local peoples of their rights and use of the law, has reduced illegal commercial fishing and logging in the area, thus saving the natural habitat of the land and aquatic life. The struggle to save this species as an important link in an ecosystem, and which is currently being encroached upon by industrialized forces, is being spear-headed by the Preservation of the Amazonian River Dolphin project.
