Comments on: Scientists ID the Culprit Threatening Chinese Sturgeon With Extinction http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/05/27/scientists-find-the-culprit-that-threatens-chinese-sturgeon-with-extinction/ Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:34:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Tim Upham http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/05/27/scientists-find-the-culprit-that-threatens-chinese-sturgeon-with-extinction/#comment-8846 Tim Upham Sun, 11 Mar 2012 23:35:35 +0000 http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/05/27/scientists-find-the-culprit-that-threatens-chinese-sturgeon-with-extinction/#comment-8846 Pollution has not only threatened the Chinese sturgeon, but it is one of the causes for the extinction of the baiji. The Yangtze is the second most traveled river in the world, after the Mississippi. With all of this ship traffic and agricultural runoff, it seems to be impossible to keep wildlife dependent on it, from not becoming extinct. The Chinese may want to learn from the British about how to clean up a river going through urban environments. Because it looks as though the Chinese sturgeon will not be next.

(And I'm sure many other places too) The more news I read, the more afraid I am to put anything into my body.
