Dear Mr. Rossiter,
I am a contract researcher working for National
Geographic Art Department on a graphic conveying the four river
dolphin species in the context of their genetic relationship. This
concept originated from the research work of Dr. Healy Hamilton,
Director of the Center for Biodiversity Research with the California
Academy of Sciences.
I have been asked to obtain current population
numbers for these dolphin groups and I am hoping that you might be able
to help me. The four dolphin (genetically related) species we are
graphing are: Amazon River dolphins, La Plata River dolphins, Indus and
Ganges River dolphins, and the Baiji dolphins.
My goal is to have population numbers by the end
of next week (19 Dec) since many people will be out of the office
during the holidays and this graphic deadline is mid-January.
Thank you, in advance, for your time and
consideration. Please refer me to another consultant if you
feel they could better assist with this project.
With best regards,
Darcy
