Global Speak Out for Rivers and River Defenders.
March 24, 2025: Join us via Zoom at 6:00PM Manila | 11AM Nigeria | 4:00PM Bangladesh | 5:00PM Indonesia.
March 14th is the International Day of Action for Rivers. On this day, let us link arms in the defense of our rivers and our ranks.
Only one third of the world’s rivers remain free flowing. The UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO), reports show that 50% of global river catchment areas are faced with abnormal conditions, leading to reduced water availability.
For Indigenous Peoples, this equates to a constant risk of losing their source of food, livelihood, and cultural practices. Lives of countless communities, Indigenous knowledge, and our rich biodiversity are threatened to be washed away by a great flood of false solutions, corporate plunder, and militarism.
