Sad Story
Personal memory by Ángel Jack
2006 • China
I remember like it was yesterday when I saw an endangered species become extinct! I felt like a piece of my heart dropped. Back in 2006, the Baiji River Dolphin became one of the sad stories that end on the extinction list. For some reason, this hit me kinda hard, and when I heard about this, I almost cried. I pray I never have to find out about more in the future.
