Hainan: A Bright Light for Cetacean Conservation

Hainan, as a major marine province, has formed a joint rescue model of “government + scientific research units + rescue stations + public welfare organizations + volunteers”. 2024 Hainan welcomed the first newborn bottlenose dolphin on July 6, the first baby dolphin conceived naturally in an artificial environment in Hainan, which marked a breakthrough for the park’s technology in the breeding of marine animals. This marks the maturity of the park’s technology in breeding marine animals and a major breakthrough in the international dolphin exchange program. In addition, Hainan has also successfully rescued stranded cetaceans on many occasions.
