"The Mekong River, which traverses over 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) of Asian
countryside, is a crucial source of fishing, farming and transportation for
around 65 million people.

The Mekong originates in the Tibetan Plateau in China and flows to the South
China Sea through Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

However, infrastructure projects designed to meet the energy demands of
Southeast Asia's rapidly growing societies are on the rise in the Mekong. The
intervention is being felt downstream and is putting increasing pressure on the
river's ecosystems and livelihoods."
