This poster in Khmer and English
outlines the folklore of the Mekong River Dolphin. The poster aimed
to re-iterate local values of the dolphins as a human re-incarnation.
In mid 2003 MDCP published and distributed 6000 copies
of “San San the Mekong River Dolphin – A Colouring story book for
children”.
