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

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 👇

People keep saying, it feels hotter than this time last year in Viet Nam. So I checked on Saturday. 4 degrees above average in Ho Chi Minh City and 7 degrees above average in Hanoi. Yes, it's hotter. #ClimateEmergency

Last week I saw the deep pools in Siphandone where the last Laos Irrawaddy dolphin died in 2023. So glad the Global Declaration for River Dolphins is underway. See the live stream here: #freeflowingrivers #freshwateremergency #riverdolphins.
