Wyc-Nu-9WebWang Yongchen, Beijing-based journalist and founder of the environmental group Green Earth Volunteers, travelled recently to the Nu River valley in Yunnan province, southwest China, where exploration activity is under way for a string of controversial hydro dams. She wanted to find out what local people have been told about the projects, and how they feel about the prospect of resettlement. Below, a translation of Ms. Wang’s account of her trip, which draws on interviews she conducted with people in 100 households.
