PHOTO CONTEST CELEBRATES THE MEKONG RIVER

A selection of 30 winning photographs submitted to the Mekong River Commission as a part of their first photo contest are now online, depicting scenes from the mighty river and the communities that depend on it.

The MRC is an international research body that periodically reports on the condition of the Mekong River and its dependent ecosystems, providing data on pollution, fisheries, droughts, floods, agriculture and socio-economic indicators.

The contest was “organised to celebrate the diversity of the Mekong river and raise awareness of the importance of transboundary water cooperation among the lower Mekong countries,” the MRC said. Those countries are Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar and China.
