 An extremely rare river dolphin has been beaten to death by fishermen in southern Bangladesh, the state-run BSS news agency said Tuesday.

Fishermen at Mongla, near the Sunderbans mangrove forest, netted a Ganges river dolphin on Monday and beat it to death as they had not seen this kind of creature before, the report said.

A group then tried to sell it as a rare fish, before giving up and dumping it outside a museum.

The Sunderbans area straddles the borders of Bangladesh and India's West Bengal state and lies on the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta. According to the World Wildlife Fund, there are just 1,200-1,800 such dolphins alive.

Nonlinear Ecosystem Response Points To Environmental Solutions
 Corvallis OR (SPX) Jan 29, 2008
 The preservation of coastal ecosystem services such as clean water, storm buffers or fisheries protection does not have to be an all-or-nothing approach, a new study indicates, and a better understanding of how ecosystems actually respond to protection efforts in a "nonlinear" fashion could help lead the way out of environmental-versus-economic gridlock.
