The Lahille's dolphin (Tursiops gephyreus)—one of the world's most endangered dolphin species—is at a critical juncture. With fewer than 500 individuals remaining and only about 150 in Argentina, coordinated efforts are urgently needed to prevent its extinction.
In response to this crisis, Fundación Azara, Nuremberg Zoo, YAQU PACHA, and Fundación Mundo Marino are joining forces for a two-day workshop to:
• review the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) of the International Whaling Commission (IWC),
• evaluate Argentina’s priorities,
• develop a practical five-year roadmap for species conservation,
• and strengthen cooperation between science, government, and local communities.
Day 1 features public lectures and a photo exhibition showcasing research areas and local communities.
Day 2 focuses on an internal working session during which a concrete action plan for the recovery of the population will be developed.
Together, we are applying the IUCN One Plan Approach, which combines in situ and ex situ measures to secure the future of the Lahille's dolphin, Tursiops truncatus gephyreus.
