"...Salween Watch was set up with the primary aim of preventing the building of harmful hydroelectric dams on the Salween River. The group members aim to inform and raise awareness among local and international communities about the impacts of the proposed hydropower development projects in the Salween Basin. The coalition works to collect information directly from the affected project areas about the environment and the people. It also collects and analyses information from the media and from other credible sources. The information is used to raise awareness about the development projects and the potential effects on the environment. Both the positive and negative aspects of development projects among the affected communities are evaluated. The group strives to build the capacity of local activists, and supports local community initiatives to help organise against development projects that potentially harm their livelihoods. At the same time, much of the group?s information and campaign activities are directed outwards, with the aim of alerting and motivating key sections of the regional and international community who are in a position to access more information, influence policy, and block the financing of the hydroelectric power projects..."
