Hydropower projects impacts on Sunuwar indigenous peoples

Sunuwar Indigenous communities have been impacted by an interrupted river flow from the hydropower projects, causing negative long-term effects such as increased chances of landslides as their territory is on sloping lands, displacement of thousands of Sunuwar who live along project areas and inability to have traditional practices such as culture fishing.
