Nu River, April 2006

Chinese activists report that signs of exploration activity near proposed dam sites on the Nu River in Yunnan province were hastily covered up before a visit in April 2006 by a UNESCO-IUCN inspection team. The visitors were investigating the potential impacts of dam building in the Three Parallel Rivers National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
