Dam it and we all suffer!...Plans to dam the mighty Salween River will bring devastation to tens of thousands of villagers who depend on its water to live. The Salween River is more than a romantic illusion for activists and environmentalists, as claimed by investors in the dam projects. Villagers depend on it for its rich and unique eco-system. Karen people have nurtured the river for centuries. They know what to do when it naturally floods, what to grow in the dry season and how long the river's tides last. They understand where and when to fish and when to be wary of its dangerous currents and twists. Now, all this is in jeopardy. Southeast Asia's longest free-flowing river is now at risk from Burma's military regime and their Chinese and Thai investors who plan to choke the life out of the Salween with their dams...The activists --- Karen River Watch...The Living River...The Teacher...The Farmer...The Health Worker...The Soldier...The Villagers...The Shopkeeper...Erasing the Legacy of Generations...Salween Dams Threaten Lives, Heritage of Ethnic Villagers...
