Five Global Pillars of Action for the Path to Harmony
The Chinese White Dolphin's protection is not only an ecological priority but a reflection of our shared universal heritage and responsibility. Their story represents our collective determination to safeguard the wonders of nature for generations to follow.
To ensure our children and grandchildren can still experience the treasures found in our rivers, coasts, and seas is our common purpose and outstanding universal value -- the essence of harmony between humankind and nature.
Critically Endangered Species
Chinese White Dolphins are critically endangered, serving as sentinels of ocean health. Their survival reflects the health of our shared marine ecosystem and environment. To protect them is to protect ourselves and future generations.
To publish detailed, science-based studies and ecological data that enable adaptive management strategies and inform the public of the present condition of marine life and the broader ecological environment.
To establish an effective cross-boundary Marine Protected Area (MPA) network through international collaboration. The Chinese White Dolphins are highly mobile and do not recognize regional or national boundaries -- therefore, cooperation across jurisdictions is vital.
To adhere to the 30x30 Marine Protection Target under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the High Seas Treaty (BBNJ Agreement).
To increase public understanding of the true value of the Chinese White Dolphin and other marine species, emphasizing that protecting our oceans safeguards humanity's own future.

The Chinese White Dolphin is part of our living heritage. Historical records of its presence in Hong Kong and nearby waters date back over 600 years.
A global commitment to protect our oceans for future generations
The 30x30 Marine Protection Target under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework aims to protect at least 30% of the world's oceans by 2030.
The High Seas Treaty (BBNJ Agreement) addresses areas beyond national jurisdiction, which make up nearly two-thirds of the global ocean.
The dolphins do not distinguish boundaries of each region or country and are highly mobile. Therefore, international collaboration and networking are essential.
