Local communities along the Mekong suffer from the consequences of dam construction. Fishermen like Hing and King, who have depended on the river since childhood, face declining fish catches, threatening their livelihoods. Furthermore, projects like the Luang Prabang Dam threaten cultural and historical sites; the transformation of the river landscape into series of lakes risks damaging UNESCO-listed cultural heritage and eroding the natural beauty that attracts tourism.
