Protecting rivers and human rights in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Rivers, lakes and wetlands take up less than 1% of Earth's surface, yet sustain 10% of all known species — more biodiversity per square meter than any ocean or forest.
That richness is disappearing. Freshwater biodiversity has declined 85% since 1970 — the steepest fall of any ecosystem on the planet.
Healthy, aren't just vital arteries for ecosystems and communities. They're irreplaceable. On this International Day for Biological Diversity, join us in defending them. 🌊
