A glistening wing of a National Geographic expedition aircraft frames the serpentine channels of Cambodia's mighty Mekong River as it carves through a patchwork of emerald forests and sun-dappled floodplains beneath scattered cumulus clouds. This vital waterway, stretching over 2,700 miles from the Tibetan Plateau to the South China Sea, sustains more than 60 million people and harbors one of Southeast Asia's most diverse freshwater ecosystems, now increasingly threatened by upstream dam development and climate change.
