Vision for the Mekong River

My vision for the Mekong river is that the fish who live in the Mekong, who are both endangered and not, can continue to migrate upstream for breeding, without being in danger. Also, since the Chinese want to decrease their carbon emissions by making hydroelectric dams, I vision that they can still make these dams without putting fish species and peoples lifestyle under threat. The Chinese government could perhaps start helping fund projects which can help build fish passages (or other thing's so fish can still migrate). I also vision that the people in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos who depend on the  Mekong for food, transportation or water can still continue to do this as this is not only their culture, but how they survive. I vision that the Mekong river in 50 years is still a spot in South East Asia where fish are common, and where people can depend on for their wellbeing.
