WWF Reports - Rivers and Investors

Thanks to Craig Johnson for these links. The first, a report from the WWF on the top 21 endangered rivers, all with more than 5 dams planned for them. The Usumacinta is not on the list, but the case is made again against dams.

The second report is very timely, as we turn our focus on the economics and financing of dams.

(This report draws heavily from the World Commission on Dams Report of 2000, which I posted here.)

And here's the main page for WWF's dams initiative. Great information.
