Giant Fish

In this photo released by Southeast Asia Rivers Network, a Karen boy lies next to a fish caught from the Salween river near the Thai-Myanmar border in March 2006. Rising in Tibet, the 2,800-kilometer-long (1,740-mile) Salween now runs free through a stunningly beautiful, remote and ecologically rich region inhabited mostly by ethnic minority groups. But China's booming economy, projected energy needs in Thailand and current deficits in impoverished Myanmar are driving economic planners into hitherto undisturbed areas in quest of hydro-electric power dam.
