Dr. Ngô Th¿ Vinh is deeply interested in measures that protect the ecosystem of the Mekong and the Mekong Delta. He has collected a wealth of precious data concerning the more than 4,800m kilometer long Mekong current flowing from Tibet to the East Sea. Many of his articles written with a heartfelt style have been published to provide readers in Vietnam as well as overseas with useful information concerning not only the early construction stages of the dams in the Mekong Cascades of Yunnan but also about the calamities that the 14 dams in this Cascades may wreak on that river's ecology affecting the tens of millions of people who inhabit its banks. Therefore, in his articles he never tires of drawing the attention of the Vietnamese as well as international public opinion to this issue. To add urgency to it, he recently authored a travelogue named "Mekong - The Occluding River" to record his experience during his travels along the Mekong's current. Dr. Vinh does not live in Vietnam. Nevertheless, his heart and mind are inextricably anchored to the bed of his river.
