DON SAHONG DAM - LAOS
2-20-14
A rare type of freshwater dolphin is the latest
species to face extinction because of humans.
In a dire warning this week, the World
Wildlife Fund said a new dam planned for Laos
will throw the population of Mekong River
dolphins into peril.
Irrawaddy dolphins, which are already
considered critically endangered can be found
in three rivers in southeast Asia. However, the
largest population --between 78 and 91
dolphins -- lives in the stretch of the Mekong
River that runs through Laos and Cambodia.
Construction of the Don Sahong dam, set to be
installed in a channel upstream from the Irrawaddy
dolphins' natural habitat, could hasten the extinction
of the population.
"The dam’s impacts on the dolphins probably
cannot be mitigated, and certainly not through the
limited and vague plans outlined in the project’s
environmental impact assessment," Cambodia’s
country WWF director, said in a statement.
"The attitude in the dam developer’s impact
assessment – that the dolphin population is already
vulnerable and therefore should not stand in the way
of development – will do nothing but seal their fate."
WWF officials expect that some of dolphins will be
killed by the sound waves created by explosives used
during construction. The remainder would most likely
suffer from adverse effects of the dam, such as
changes in water quality and disruption of sediment.
Conservationists are calling on Cambodian Prime
Minister Hun Sen to intervene and urge Laos to stop
construction of the dam.
Cambodian officials have also expressed concerns
over their northern neighbor's plans for the dam.
"We want Laos to consider the long term impact... to
downstream nations," said a spokesman for the
Cambodian government. "We are worried about the
environmental impact and fish impact."
The number of Irrawaddy dolphins in the Mekong
River is already dwindling. Earlier this week, a dead
male dolphin was found floating along the river in
Cambodia. Locals believe the Mekong River dolphin
died after becoming trapped in a fishing net, The
Phnom Penh Post reports.

GUERRILLA WARFARE
• “In a guerrilla war, the line between legitimate and illegitimate killing is
blurred. The policies of free-fire zones, in which a soldier is permitted to
shoot at any human target, armed or unarmed, further confuse the
fighting man’s moral senses.”
