The abundance of Cambodia’s Tonle Sap Lake helped grow the country for millenia and gave rise to the Kingdom of Angkor. Fed by the rich\, mud-colored waters of the powerful Mekong River\, the lake owes its vast bounty to an ecological miracle that has captivated poets\, artisans\, and explorers throughout history. But today\, the lake is dying. Hydropower dams hold back billions of gallons of water and disrupt critical fish migration paths. On the lake\, illegal fishing abetted by corruption is now unstoppable. A fast-changing climate\, meanwhile\, has seen a string of devastating droughts. In conversation with NYSEAN Program Coordinator Sreyneath Poole\, they will explore how the rapid destruction of Cambodia’s largest lake is upending the lives of millions who depend on the lake for their survival. \nThe event is co-hosted by the WEAI and NYSEAN and is sponsored by the Center for Khmer Studies and the Nordic Institute of Asian Studies. \nContact Information\nJulie Kwan\njk4371@columbia.edu \n
