The provincial governments have officially mandated the installation of safety propellers across all registered river vessels. We are currently monitoring the rollout phase to ensure full compliance with these new safety standards.

Every year the population of porpoises and dolphins in the Yangtze River is dropping. This is mainly because there are more and more boats on the river each year and their propellers are killing or causing serious harm to these animals who swim near the surface. This petition is to persuade local governments in the provinces where these creatures live, to make all boats use safety propellers on their boats which are designed not to cause harm to animals that come in to contact with them. These propellers have saved many animals lives in Australia where the propeller was invented.
Please sign this petition to the Local Governments of the provinces where these species live so they can make this small change to make a big difference.

We need to hit the 100 signature threshold before I submit our formal proposal to the regional transport authorities. This specific number will establish the necessary baseline for our upcoming meeting with provincial officials.

so sad to see them getting hurt like this. just put guards on the boats please.
Yangtze river dolphins are part of our history we cant just let them disappear because of propellers
THIS IS HEARTBREAKING. STOP KILLING THESE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS AND FIX THE BOATS NOW!
Animals shouldn't be treated like that. They have the right to live peacefully and happily on their habitat or wherever they are located. They should be treated kindly and carefully with love and take care of them as we are treated as a human being.
Fix the boats. simple change but it saves lives.
