今回は、カワゴンドウ(学名:Orcaella brevirostris)が、「電気ショック漁」で困っている話です。2014年の図鑑では、刺し網にかかってしまうことに加えて、生息地の喪失や水質汚染、ダム建設、砂泥の堆積、船の行き来による環境の劣化などが重なって、「VU:危急」と評価されていました。そして、2026年時点で確認できるIUCNレッドリストでは、刺し網の混獲、ダム建設による生息地の改変や分断、水質汚染と堆積が今も続き、さらに電気ショック漁が取り締まりの重要な課題として表に出てきたこともあって、2017年に「EN:危機」へ評価が引き上げられています。だからカワゴンドウは今も、「電気は流れ、川は沈む」そんな状態なんだと思います。この記事は短くて、5分で読めます。よかったら最後まで読んでください。

Scientists have uncovered a "blind spot" in the research on rising seas, revealing that tens of millions of people thought safe from coastal flooding are at risk of inundation. Across much of the world, sea levels are higher than previously assumed and land is sinking faster.
