Chinese sturgeon. These two creatures are uniquely Chinese and are a part of China’s heritage. The whitefin dolphins are the largest freshwater dolphins in existence. They are an essential part of the river and are embedded in Chinese folklore. This species is already threatened by the current pollution of the river and likely face extinction upon the dam’s completion. This dam will also endanger the Chinese alligator, the white crane, certain species of monkeys that live on the cliffs, as well as the finless porpoise. The ecosystem of the Yangtze is argued to be upon the verge of being irreversibly upset.

The construction of the Three Gorges Dam was officially started on December 14, 1994 by Premier Li Peng. The construction has continued, and does to this very day. The river has been diverted by the means of a large man made channel and a large cofferdam has been constructed to enclose the site for the dam. The foundations are almost completed and the dam is forecasted to be completed in the year 2009.

The halting of this project seems irrational, so the management becomes essential to the health of the region. The Three Gorges Dam offers great rewards: a large source of power, increased transportation, controlling of life taking floods; it also poses risks to the environment and the Chinese themselves. As America did in her industrial infancy, China is now expanding and building monumental projects that hope to mature her to an industrial giant. The management of the Three Gorges Dam, the control of the level of pollution in the Yangtze, and the environment must not be overlooked in the quest for money and power.
