About Us :

Save the Mekong coalition urges the Mekong governments to keep the Mekong flowing freely to save this critical source of food, income and life for present and future generations.
Save the Mekong: Our River Feeds Millions

The fate of the Mekong hangs in the balance! The governments of Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam will meet this week to decide whether or not to proceed with the Xayaburi Dam, the first of eleven dams proposed for the Mekong Mainstream.

The Xayaburi Dam and other dams planned for the Mekong will have devastating consequences for the region; they will block major fish migrations and dramatically change the Mekong forever, jeopardizing the lives and food security of millions.

Take Action now to Save the Mekong, sign the petition below to keep the Mekong free-flowing!

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 governments of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam to cancel the Xayaburi Dam, and keep the Mekong flowing freely, in order to save this critical source of food, income and life for present and future generations. You can show your support by adding your name to the petition below.

Protecting the Mekong is vital to ensuring healthy fisheries, and supporting the livelihoods and food security of millions. Please sign the petition to keep the Mekong flowing freely!



To the Prime Ministers of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.

I am writing to express my concern about plans to build hydropower dams on the Mekong River’s mainstream that will impact the river’s environment and natural resources, including natural flow, biodiversity and ecosystem. Please listen to the voice of the Mekong’s people and keep the Mekong flowing freely, saving this critical source of food and income for millions of us. Please consider better ways to meet our electricity needs and avoid creating cross-border impacts and disputes.
