A young woman spends her time helping people know more about saving Yangtze's "smiling angels". The Yangtze River is home to the endangered (濒危的) Yangtze finless porpoises(长江江豚). We know them as the "smiling angels" because of their special mouths.
____. There are only around 1, 000 of the porpoises left. The government, scientists and volunteers(志愿者) are working hard to save them. Tan Ge is one of them.
Tan Ge was born in 1991. She grew up in Hunan's Yueyang, a city beside Dongting Lake. The lake is linked (连接的) to the Yangtze River. After learning about this important animal and the importance of protecting the animal, she joined a group of volunteers and started working to protect them.
As she worked with the volunteers, Tan Ge learned more about the animal. And she knew that maybe a lot of people, like herself, didn't know much of the animal. So, in 2018, she joined the association (协会) to save them.
Since then, she has tried her best to work for the animal. She has taken part in over 350 field trips to fight against bad fishing. She saved not only finless porpoises, but also other wildlife species (物种) in the area.
