| local.seafdecaqd.extract | Tears fill Maung Lay’s eyes as he describes losing the dolphin he knew since his childhood, the latest casualty of a battle against pollution and electrofishing that may see the species disappear in Myanmar.

The illegal technique now threatens to wipe out the dolphins and the tourist bonanza they promise. | en |
