Wildlife authorities say they have found the carcasses of six endangered
river dolphins in Pakistan over the last month.

Sindh Wildlife Department deputy head Ghulam Mohammad accused on Monday local
fisherman, saying their poison and nets were to blame for the deaths of the
Indus River Dolphin.

The blind mammal is found only in the Indus River. A 2006 survey put the
numbers left in the river at 1,300.

Increasingly low water levels and the spilling of pesticides into the river
have reduced the dolphins' habitat.
