Must see video. Shows the extraordinary beauty of the #MekongDelta and delves into the growing threats to its survival. And how @WWF is working with partners to build its #resilience. @WWFAsianDeltas @third_pole @minaguli @conan_herve @MekongEye @samgeall.

"Many economists & planners think in term of linear devt which includes taking some decisions that can always be reversed. This doesn’t apply to ecosystems. In nature stress builds up until thresholds are reached, resulting in radical and permanent transformations." @WWFLeadWater.

We call on decision makers to listen to the people who have never forgotten the Mekong's fishes and who are facing the immediate effects of their decline + to take measures to keep rivers free-flowing, tackle unsustainable sand mining, destructive fishing practices, pollution,. .
The world's largest inland fishery is at threat. The fishery is priceless, providing food security and livelihoods for over 40 million people, but at threat from dams, land use change and sand mining. Mekong Forgotten Fishes report states urgent actions:

In the #Mekong the tradeoffs between Climate #Mitigation and Climate #Adaptation become even more apparent when you shift from a water lens to a sediment lens and zoom into the #delta.
Tradeoffs Between Climate Mitigation & Adaptation: . Hydropower, w/ competitive substitutes, is capturing the sediment (a non-substitutable resource) needed for the Mekong Delta to adapt to climate change. @WWFLeadWater @marcgoichot @WWFAsianDeltas .

“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 @WWFLeadWater @WWFPartnerships.

While the logic of promoting #hydropower to support increased energy demands of growing #economic devt is valid the wider & cumulative economic trade-offs for “much larger” #industries both regionally and globally must be taken into account. @WWFLeadWater.

#Sand has many values to the economy once it is extracted from the river, yet it has greater value when it stays in the rivers and coasts as if offers there the most cost-effective protection from the effects of climate change. #adaptation @WWFAsianDeltas.
