Indus Dolphin Reserve, Wetland reserve on River Indus, Pakistan
The Indus Dolphin Reserve extends across 125,000 hectares between Guddu and Sukkur Barrages, providing protection for freshwater dolphins endemic to the river system.
The reserve obtained its protected status in 1974 through World Wide Fund for Nature recommendations and received Ramsar site designation in May 2001.
The reserve area includes both the Sadhu Bella Hindu shrine and Satinjo Astan Muslim graveyard, representing different religious traditions along the river.
Research teams conduct regular population surveys of the Indus river dolphins, monitoring approximately 500 individuals within the protected waters.
The dolphins in this reserve have evolved to navigate without sight, developing specialized adaptations for life in the murky river waters.
