The relocation of Yangtze finless porpoises to Changlong and Haichang aquariums capped with a glorified title of ex situ conservation goes against the principle of protecting the Yangtze River, which is negatively misleading.  It is indeed a disgrace to our country if found by the international marine mammalian community. Also, it creates an unpleasant atmosphere of international public opinion to the conference of the convention on the protection of biological diversity to be held in Kunming.
