Over 80 people’s groups in Thailand and Burma spoke out against China’s plans for 13 large dams on the Nu River. The groups say that the dams will bring devastating effects for people downstream, and called on China to consult with downstream communities who depend on the river for fishing and farming. Thai-Karen communities have lived along the Salween river and its tributaries for generations. Their lives depend on the richness of the lush ecosystem and natural resources of the Salween river basin.
The Southeast Asia Rivers Network has coordinated a petition.
