Lao PDR - Nam Ou river - Fisherman throwing his net into the river

Boatman/fisherman So throws a small fishing net into the Nam Ou river to catch fish, Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. The Nam Ou river connects small riverside villages and provides the rural population with food for fishing. But this river and others like it, that are the lifeline of rural communities and local economies are being blocked, diverted and decimated by dams. The Lao government hopes to transform the country into ‘the battery of Southeast Asia’ by exporting the power to Thailand and Vietnam.
