Our Rivers, Our Lifelines
Rivers are the lifeblood of our planet, cradles of civilization, ecosystems teeming with life, and corridors of cultural and economic activity. Yet, they face unprecedented threats from human activity and climate change. Save The World’s Rivers (STWR) stands at the forefront of global efforts to protect these vital waterways.
