900 Dolphins, 5,000 Birds Dead in Peru
Published on May 10, 2012 by admin · No Comments
Nearly 900 dolphins and at least 5,000 birds, mostly pelicans, have died off Peru’s northern coast, the government has confirmed.
The country’s northern beaches have been declared off-limits as scientists scramble to pin down what has caused such a massive death toll.
Non-government organisations blame oil exploration work.
But Peru’s deputy environment minister Gabriel Quijandria disputed that, saying rising water temperatures, which disturb species’ food supplies, were a possible cause.
