If confirmed, it would be the first extinction of a large vertebrate for over 50 years. The scientists added that human activity - such as building dams - may have contributed to the dolphin's decline. But is human activity just part of evolution? Shouldn't evolution be allowed to run its course? And why do we strive to keep some species such as Giant Pandas alive - despite obvious evolutionary shortcomings - yet neglect others?
