  • 'People's Stories
    Recapturing the Biodiversity of Communities through ‘People’s Stories’ - Environmental Education Activities in Thailand and Laos - A project briefer by Mekong Watch July 2018 Introduction: Background to the Project Mekong Watch envisions a Mekong Region in which “its people enjoy the region's natural environments and sustain lifestyles that are rooted in the integrity of their environments, without becoming victims to the harmful impacts of destructive development.”1 Unfortunately, the reality is the opposite. The region’s environments are rapidly deteriorating. More locations on both Mekong mainstream and tributaries are blocked by hydropower dams. More forests are replaced by industrial plantations. More land is turning into economic zones and sites to extract natural resources. Destructive development is making it more difficult for people in Mekong to lead a sustainable life. We have been trying to challenge this disturbing trend on two fronts. One, we analyze destructive development and argue that it does not comply with safeguard standards which are built upon global and the region’s development experiences. We have proposed to reconsider or reorient a number of development projects to ensure that they will not harm the Mekong’s environments and its people. We have also advocated for the improvement of protective measures and procedures when they are weak and outdated. Two, we also try to gain a better understanding over how deeply people’s lives are rooted in the Mekong’s environments. Without such an understanding, it is hard to recognize how development may affect or benefit people. Most importantly, people’s lives in the region are linked with their environments not simply in economic and other tangible terms but in a much more in-depth manner.
