The commitment all Lower #Mekong #countries have definitely #demonstrated is towards:
DEVELOPMENT OVER their PEOPLE's Food Security & wellbeing, the River's health & sustainability... and to#China's interests 😖😰😠😤👎👎👎

Save the Mekong

International Rivers

Wow. A United Nations report is calling for a return to "ancestral survival systems" and "nature-based solutions" to address the coming water scarcity crisis.

And it says that dams in India have done more harm than good to the cause of water security. Water scarcity can lead to civil unrest, mass migration, and even to conflicts within and between countries - so yes, NOW is the time to change our ways!
