www.pbs.org - Two million Chinese are displaced by the construction of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River.

Sixth graders at Ralston Middle School in Belmont, California made this video as part of a curriculum on Chinese history and culture. Students in Steve Pomroy's advanced animation class created visuals to accompany a poem written by students in Gary Means' social studies class. The poem is about the controversial Three Gorges hydroelectric dam in China, a project that involves the flooding of towns and villages.

In 1996, 26-year-old Peter Hessler arrived in Fuling, a town on China's Yangtze River, to begin a two-year Peace Corps stint as a teacher at the local college. Along with fellow teacher Adam Meier, the two are the first foreigners to be in this part of the Sichuan province for 50 years. Expecting a calm couple of years, Hessler at first does not realize the social, cultural, and personal implications of being thrust into a such radically different society. In River Town: Two Years on the ...

April 1998 China's Three Gorges Dam will lead to the flooding of the majestic Yangtze valley. It's the price of progress. We cruise down this 6000 km river which was once unnavigable. Today commuters jostle for space on the boats. But one day only the mountain tops will be visible. Italian filmmakers are recreating the romance of the river of old, but they'll have to hurry up... soon it will all be under water. Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures...

Redescubriendo el Yangtze

Noto anche come "baiji", questo grande vertebrato è da considerarsi ormai estinto: se ne va la "divinità" dello Yangtze. Il progresso continua. (The baiji is gone. During six weeks of searching the Yangtze River, scientists and conservationists failed to spot any of the unique creatures. This means, they say, that the "goddess of the Yangtze" is extinct because, even if a scattered few are still around, there are not enough to reproduce and perpetuate the species). The development must go on....

The Yangtze river dolphin is but one example of the indiscriminate destruction that our kind infilicts every waking minute on the very world it depends on. I believe that much, much more could have been done to protect this unique and wonderful species. Near the end of the video you see a captive finless porpoise. There are fewer than 400 of these animals surviving in the Yangtze river, and the death of the baiji species should create greater pressure to save them from the same fate. The ...

Up the Yangtze -Film Interview with Director and Screenwriter Yung Chang.

Wehave selected 100 unique places on Earth that are projected to undergo profound changes within the next few generations. We based our selection of the 100 places on the 4th Assessment Report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Simply by drawing attention to the beauty of these places, 100 Places to Remember Before they Disappear creates an argument to preserve them. The 100 Places we have chosen to highlight, and the people who live in them, are in serious danger ...
