Travel and travel security have changed so much over the years so if you have intentions to travel anywhere in the World, including the Bahamas, I suggest that you have an up to date Passport, and a Visa.

What do you think about the extinction of the yangtze river dolphin? and what are the other four river dolphin

Question by swimmer_dude02: What do you think about the extinction of the yangtze river dolphin? and what are the other four river dolphin
what are the names of all four species of river dolphins?

Best answer:

Answer by typetive
There are three different true river dolphin species:
– Ganges & Indus River Dolphin
– Boto (Amazon)
– Baiji (Yangtzee River)

There is another called La Plata which is found in both rivers and close along the coast in South America in the La Plata estuary area. (They can tolerate salt water but are not oceanic dolphins.)

All are extremely threatened by human development in those rivers and as you mentioned, the Baiji was recently declared extinct (though a few animals may live in the wild, it is extremely unlikely that they are a viable breeding population). The isolation of those species is part of what makes it especially difficult for them to survive as top level predators.

Have you traveled through China? Can you advise? Trying to decide between two trips…?

Question by DutchGirlinOregon: Have you traveled through China? Can you advise? Trying to decide between two trips…?
We’re trying to decide between two trips, but know nothing about China.

Trip 1: 23-Day Tour of Beijing – Xian – Lhasa – Tsetang – Lhasa – Shangri-La – Lijiang – Kunming – Chongqing – Yangtze River – Wuhan – Shanghai
http://www.travelchinaguide.com/tour/tibet/tour-509.htm

Trip 2: 19-Day Tour of Shanghai – Suzhou – Shanghai – Yichang – Yangtze River Cruise – Chongqing – Guilin – Yangshuo – Guilin – Xian – Lhasa – Beijing
http://www.travelchinaguide.com/cruise/victoria/tour-v410.htm

We will most likely be going from december 3rd, until whenever the tour is done. The descriptions sound great for both, and the temperatures seem acceptable to us, from their estimates.

Can you give any advice as to why we should choose one trip over the other? Considering that it is in December, and we would like to see both museums/cities as well as small towns and regular life.

Thank you, I would greatly appreciate any advice!

I personally don’t know why you want to go to china. its really disgusting there. the people aren’t educated. They spit everywhere and are really rude.
But.. since you seem really excited you should probvably go to shanghai.. the people there are more educated than most of the other parts of china.

Touring china?

Question by Andy: Touring china?
OK, im 18 but 19 next year and I’m planning before university to go traveling (once again) with my mate.

I love Chinese culture so a trip to china seemed perfect… looking through brochures and various websites I found that a tour would be the best to take it all in rather than being stuck in one place.
HOWEVER big problemo is that tours = middle aged persons and pensioners and the last thing i want is to be ferried around in a convoy of tourists; I want to explore china myself!

Does anyone know of any good UK (or foreign) tour operators that can give you this freedom but at a reasonable price. We are looking at traveling from the major cities such as HK, Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, etc and include the Yangtze river cruise. We do have a budget of about £2k

Thanks in advance.

Answer by Matthew B
your going to have a tough time finding one. the problem is china law on tour groups, they have specific laws restricing tourists. They still maintain a sense of isolationism.

how much money was compensated to the people relocated on the yangtze river?

Question by CaseyCliche: how much money was compensated to the people relocated on the yangtze river?
from the three gorges dam project, i know that the people were forced to be relocated and were given money compensation, but that it was low, how much was it approximately?
actually, money has already been compensated. This summer I went to locations along the Yangtze river and spoke with families who were affected by the Three Gorges Dam, and they were compensated, they would not tell me however how much they were given, only to add that it was very little.

Best answer:

Answer by Sparrow
The Three Gorges Dam
One example is the dam failures of 1975 that devastated the Henan province and claimed over 200,000 lives but was only recently made known to the public. And while many still fear to offer public criticism against the government within China, it is notable that Dai Qing has been interviewed by numerous foreign press organizations including the BBC.
Li Boning head the Three Gorges Migration Office and plans to resettle and compensate the affected population into the local region. Initially it was hoped that a substantial amount of displaced people (between 1.1. & 1.9 million) would be transported to other provinces. This plan failed when receiving provinces refused to welcome them. Now they are relying on enough uncultivated land in the surrounding areas to provide for the farmers and the budget to afford them new housing and urban developments. Advocates of the dam say government investment and the creation of the Three Gorges Special Economic Zone will draw foreign investors and provide for those who have lost their livelihoods. Critics insist that the environmental capacity of the region is already overtaxed by excessive cultivation and deforestation. The government is accused of estimating too small a resettlement population and an inadequate budget to accommodate them. The loss of residential and industrial resources is far too great, critics say, for the government to compensate. They cite mass relocations undertaken in the past where migrants have resided in makeshift housing for years with insufficient employment and little compensation on account of bad planning and dishonest use of funds among other reasons.

Up to now no compensation has been fixed or funded.

Regards.
