Son La Dam

Villagers from Chiang Yen village move their houses piece by piece to make way for the Son La Dam.

internationalrivers – The Son La Hydropower Project is the largest and most complex dam project ever built in Vietnam. The project will displace more than 91,000 ethnic minority people, requiring the largest resettlement in Vietnam’s history. Most of these people will be moved between 50 to 100 kilometers away from their current homes and without access to the Da River—a source of livelihood for most of them.

The affected people include ten different ethnic groups, of which the Thai people comprise the majority. These people live mainly by the river and practice wet rice cultivation. One of the major concerns is a shortage of arable land for resettling the tens of thousands of displaced people. Tiếp tục đọc “Son La Dam”
