| Video Discription | On May 25, 2021, we had the honor of hosting cetologist, Dr. Louisa S. Ponnampalam, founder of the nonprofit, MareCet, member of the IUCN Species Survival Commission’s Cetacean and Sirenia Specialist Groups, and Research Associate of the Institute of Biodiversity and Environmental Conservation, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. During her presentation, "Caring for the Uncharismatic: Shining the Spotlight on Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoises, With Lessons Learned from Malaysia", Dr. Ponnampalam provided a fascinating introduction to the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise, a rare and beautiful species of cetacean. The Indo-Pacific finless porpoise is a small cetacean commonly found throughout Southeast Asia's coastal regions. As it lacks a dorsal fin and is often inconspicuous in its surfacing behavior, it does not capture people's attention as dolphins do, thus rendering it rather uncharismatic. It is likely that finless porpoises are more threatened than is generally realized. Scientists, conservationists, and decision-makers alike should be encouraged to pay the species more attention as threats from human activities increase rapidly throughout the species' range. In this webinar cetologist and conservationist, Dr. Ponnampalam discussed her work studying and advocating for the finless porpoises in Malaysia.
