Environmental groups are calling on CPC Corporation to halt its liquefied natural gas expansion project in Taichung to protect the endangered Taiwanese humpback dolphin.
Eleven conservation groups held a protest today, warning that the massive land reclamation project will destroy a critical nursery and feeding ground for the rare dolphins.
CPC held a public meeting in Wuqi today to discuss the fourth phase of its Taichung plant expansion, and nearly a dozen conservation groups held a protest, warning that the large land reclamation project will destroy a critical nursery and feeding ground for the rare dolphins.
Activists say there are fewer than 50 Taiwanese humpback dolphins left in the world.
The groups are demanding that all development projects in the area be combined into a single environmental impact assessment.
