#Vietnam's Mekong Delta is running out of sand by 2035, if current extraction rate does not change. What's next given the sand reserves won’t last? By Lê Đình Tuyển Dinh Tuyen Le Find out more: mekongeye.com/2023/11/06/vie…

“What happens to the #Mekong has implications beyond the Mekong. If you affect one [part] of a #supplychain, then it can affect millions of people who depend on it. That’s the world we live in.” #hydropower @CarolynCowan11 WWF Water 💧🐟 WWF Partnerships 🤝🌿 news.mongabay.com/2023/11/dam-bu…

OUT TODAY: The Mekong river boasts 1,148 fish species & the largest inland fishery in the world - nourishing 40 million people. Flagship report by WWF & partners shows how its fish & fisheries are under threat. And how we must act now to save them asiapacific.panda.org/hidden/the_mek…

Migratory freshwater fishes are vital for food security of over 100 million people and crucial to communities in Asian deltas. But they are in freefall - their populations crashing 81% on average since 1970. But we can still save them and their rivers 👇 wwf.panda.org/?11324466/Stag…

DYK that in the Mekong River basin alone, over 100 different species - billions of fish - migrate every year! However most of these fish are threatened by dams - putting livelihoods and food security of millions of people at risk! #worldfishmigrationday
