The Save the Mekong coalition was created to protect the river, its resources and people’s livelihoods, and encourage policymakers to adopt more sustainable ways of meeting people’s energy and water needs. The coalition is formed of non-government organizations, local groups and ordinary people who all share a concern about the future of the Mekong River.

The Save the Mekong coalition is calling on the Prime Ministers of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam to keep the Mekong flowing freely to save this critical source of food, income and life for present and future generations. From March until early June, coalition members will be collecting signed postcards from people in the countries who would be affected by the projects and around the world. You can show your support by adding your name to the corresponding online petition asking the governments to Save the Mekong and protect the livelihoods of those who depend on it.
