The Lahille dolphin (Tursiops gephyreus) – one of the most endangered dolphin species in the world – is at a critical juncture. With fewer than 500 individuals remaining and only about 150 animals in Argentina, coordinated action is 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 the priorities for Argentina,
• Develop a practical five-year roadmap for species conservation,
• Strengthen cooperation between science, politics, and local communities.
Day 1 includes public lectures and a photo exhibition presenting research areas and local communities.
Day 2 focuses on an internal working session in 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 dolphin, Tursiops truncatus gephyreus.
