Save a river
Save a river
Your friends and family don’t need another forgettable gift from you. What they need is to be part of the campaign to save the mighty Mekong River from hydro-damming, devastating the lives of millions who rely on it. This card will help do that.
The mighty Mekong River is under threat. And so are the 60 million people who depend on it 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 the major development decisions that affect their lives and impact on the environment.
“This stretch of the Mekong is globally renowned for its biodiversity. Building the dam will block the massive fish migrations that help feed millions of people within the region. The stakes are huge.” Carl Middleton, Mekong Program Coordinator of International Rivers.
