STORYLINE:
Thanks to protection measures, the endangered Dabry's sturgeon can be spotted in the Yangtze River in China.
Dabry's sturgeon, also known as the Yangtze sturgeon, has lost its natural ability to reproduce since 2000 due to overfishing and crowded rivers, among others. It was classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 2010.
To restore biodiversity, China implemented a full fishing ban in 332 conservation areas in the Yangtze River basin in January 2020.
