Experts hope the critically endangered finless porpoise will be better protected after the country s first regional regulation about the species came into force on Jan. 1 in Anqing, Anhui province.
Passed by the city s people s congress, the Anqing Regulation on the Protection of the Yangtze Finless Porpoise strengthens efforts to save the highly intelligent species from extinction, said Yu Daoping, an expert of finless porpoise protection at Anqing Normal University. The new regulation provides a legal basis to further curb human activities that would be harmful to the species, he said.
