The Adventure Foundation of Pakistan (AFP), a non-profit organization, has initiated an Eco-tourism Project with the financial support of GEF/Small Grants programme of UNDP-Pakistan. The project involves training the boat people to run boat safaris in the Indus River. By using their traditional boats, visitors are able to see the dolphins at close quarters and understand this unique animal. The project aims to develop an ecotourism product that protects the threatened Indus dolphin by encouraging the boat people to become the guardians of the dolphin. Conservationists in Pakistan are aware of some of the commercialized dolphin viewing tours operating in the world that have resulted in adverse impacts on both human and dolphin interactions. There have been cases when invasive tourist practices like feeding and swimming with the dolphins have proven dangerous to both the viewer and the viewed. The AFP promotes dolphin viewing as a non-invasive activity, based on the traditional practices of the boat people. The closest that the visitors get to the Indus dolphin is to listen to the continuous vocalization of the dolphin with a hydrophone placed in the water.
