Meet Travis Winn, an American who traveled to China for the first time in 2000 to join his dad on a first descent expedition of the Headwaters of the Salween River in Tibet.

During that first trip, Travis realized that most Chinese citizens had no practical way to get out and experience free-flowing rivers. Soon enough, he learned that at the rate these rivers were being dammed, very few people would ever have a chance to see the rivers in their pristine and natural state.

Travis continues to strive toward his personal goal of bringing the Chinese people closer to their rivers.
