    Answer:

The conservation group's annual Red List of threatened species, published in 2007 found that Baiji is probably the most threatened cetacean species in the world. With no more than a few tens of individuals, the dolphin is one of the world's rarest mammals found in its native Yangtze River in China due to China's rapid economic growth. The species has been listed as Critically Endangered since 1996, but in 2007 it was reassessed as Critically Endangered and flagged as Possibly Extinct. It has been driven to extinction due to the activity in 50 years. Entanglement in fishing gear, electric fishing practices, boat propeller strikes, dam construction, river siltation (from deforestation and agricultural expansion), and pollution have all contributed to the dramatic declines of this species.
