Rob Newman tells the story of a species we've lost forever, and explores our role in their extinction. The Yangtze River Dolphin, the "Goddess of the Yangtze", was blind, graceful, sociable, and... pink. As the Chinese river became a highway for international trade and commerce, the Goddess was pushed further and further from their ancestral home. Is the survival of the natural world and the advance of human progress incompatible? Produced at Â鶹Éç Bristol by Emily Knight. First broadcast on Â鶹Éç Radio 4 in November 2019.
