EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from George Shaw and Frederick Nodder's The Naturalist's Miscellany captures the beauty of the endangered Ganges river dolphin, Platanista gangetica gangetica. Illustrated by Richard Polydore Nodder in 1804, this image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these majestic creatures.
The Ganges river dolphin, also known as the South Asian river dolphin or Gangetic dolphin, is native to the rivers of India and Bangladesh. Unfortunately, due to habitat loss, pollution, and accidental entanglement in fishing nets, their population has been declining rapidly.
In this intricate illustration, every detail of the Ganges river dolphin is meticulously depicted – from its unique elongated snout to its graceful movements in the water. It serves as a tribute to these fascinating creatures and a call to action for conservation efforts.
As we admire this artwork by Bridgeman Images, let us remember our responsibility to protect endangered species like the Ganges river dolphin. Through education and awareness, we can work towards ensuring that future generations will have the opportunity to witness these incredible animals in their natural habitat.
