The mighty Mekong River is under threat. And 60 million people live in the river basin, relying on the river’s resources for their survival. Plans to build eleven hydropower dams will block major fish migrations and ruin the river and its surrounds. You can help us ensure that communities have a voice and are included in major development decisions that affect their lives and the environment.
60 million people depend on the mighty Mekong River for their survival. Plans to build eleven hydropower dams on the river’s main stream will block major fish migrations and dramatically change the delicate biodiversity of the river and its surrounds. We are working together with local partners across the Mekong, ensuring that communities are included in major development decisions that affect their lives and impact on the environment. “Building the dam will block the massive fish migrations that help feed millions of people within the region.
