The Yangtze River
The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and third-longest river in the world. It is located exclusively in China, flowing 3,964 miles (6,380 kilometers) from Tibet to the East China Sea. The western world refers the entire river as the Yangtre, but in Chinese, this only describes a small section of it. In China, it is known as Chang Jiang which means "Long River"
Currently supporting one-third of China's population within its basin, the river has been important for agriculture and transportation for thousands of years. The Yangtre divides northern and southern China, and people on opposite sides of the river have long had distinct differences in culture and lifestyle.
One of the busiest waterways in the world, the Yangtze also has the biggest hydroelectric power plant in the world, the Three Gorges Dam. However, the river has been the site of heavy industrial development, resulting in pollution and loss of habitat for plants and animals. The dam has contributed to this cutting into animal habitats, drying up lakes, flooding towns, and displacing 12 million people.
Pollution of the river is so severe that most of the ocean's pollution comes from the Yangtze the river once turned red, and some animals, such as the Yangtze River dolphin, have gone extinct. This damaged ecosystem endangered species like the Chinese alligator, Chinese paddlefish, Yangtze giant softshell turtle, and Chinese water deer. Some sections of the Yangtze are now protected as nature reserves, but more work must be done to save its unique endemic species.
