In order to fulfill my vision, I think the place I should target is that the Chinese are building dams. If, they looked into alternate ways to create energy (not affecting the mekong river) that would positivly effect the countries who depend on the Mekong. Since 4 dams are already built, the Chinese could put in some money to create smaller tributaries and alternative paths that the fish could take while migrating. This way, fish species can still thrive, and hopefully endangered species will not become extinct.
However, 60 million people are dependent on the Mekong and the dams will still effect water levels, and still may affect the fish. Introducing a new species of fish that don't have to migrate would be a last resource as that can effect the whole eco system.
I also suggest that Laos and other countries considering building dams, don't, as the current situation would get even worse with even more dams.
