Strangler Fig ...living bridge in the Mekong

The rivers of the world are engangered by each of us... and we need to find a way to understand these resources and then to become shepards who will protect and improve them. Consider that survival, like the living bridge, is more than a lifetime's work.
The Khone Falls on the Mekong River in Southeast Asia have more water flowing over them then any other falls in the world, an important fact in meeting the needs of this high population region. The average discharge of the Mekong at this point is nearly 3 million U.S. gallons per second, though the highest volume on record was reached at over 13 million U.S. gallons per second.
As those of us who are committed to sustainability know, we need to find a way to make the earth's limited water survive the imprint of man...
