This study assesses the ecological and environmental impacts of hydropower development in plateau regions, focusing on biodiversity, water dynamics, and socio-economic effects on indigenous communities. It identifies significant ecological disturbances, including altered hydrological cycles, habitat destruction, and biodiversity loss, alongside profound socio-economic impacts such as cultural displacement and uneven economic benefits. The research emphasizes the need for sustainable development strategies incorporating environmental and social impact assessments, adaptive management, advanced technologies, and inclusive policies. Recommendations aim to guide policymakers and developers in aligning hydropower projects with both local and global sustainability goals, ensuring that energy advancements do not compromise the ecological integrity and cultural heritage of plateau areas.
