Saving Pesut Mahakam: The Familyhood of Sea and River Dolphin

Introduction and Urgency There are only seven species of river mammal, but one had already extinct. And, there is one river dolphin in Indonesia but it is threatened with the number of less than 100. The story is about a Pesut Fish that lives in Mahakam River. He is trying to save his dying sister and their poisoned river home, a brave freshwater dolphin defies the lethal salt of the open sea to unite an archipelago-wide brotherhood of ocean dolphins in a desperate, heroic stand against industrial greed. The Story >Driven by a love that defies biological limits, Nori embarks on a suicidal mission: to leave his freshwater home and cross the burning, salt-filled ocean to find his legendary cousins, the sea dolphins. His odyssey across the Indonesian archipelago takes him from the skeptical leaders of Derawan Islands to the warm solidarity of Lovina Beach in Bali and the elite warriors of Kilauan Bay. Exhausted and nearly broken, Nori is carried home by his sea brothers for a final stand. Their spectacular, combined "Rescue Dance" at the Mahakam Delta catches the world's eye via social media, forcing a national intervention to purify the river. "Saving Pesut Mahakam" is a stirring tale of environmental justice and a hero's journey that proves that one small act of courage can save an entire ecosystem.
