29.SOUNDBITE (English): Brian Eyler, director of the US-based Stimson Center’s Southeast Asia Program:
"The Tonle Sap Lake, again, is the beating heart of the Mekong and this beating heart has provided hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish per year for people in Cambodia. All the way back to the Khmer Empire, all the way to the present day and it does it for free. As long as the river can do what it naturally does. Unfortunately, it faces a number of threats relating to upstream dams, climate change, poor land use around the lake and all of that is changing the mightiness of the Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia."
