Mini-posters draw attention to 10 of China's aquatic animal species and habitats that are endangered by human activity

Ten aquatic animals, each representing a river, have been chosen by environmental experts - with help from the public - to raise awareness of endangered creatures and their habitats.

Officials from the Environmental Protection Ministry, the Agriculture Ministry and the Water Resources Ministry put the 10 animals on cards, each of which serves as a sort of mini-poster representing endangered life in one of the country's major rivers.
