Rights of Rivers
Given the alarming degradation of rivers globally and the resulting harms to the climate, wildlife, public health, and local economies, we stand with a growing international movement to protect rivers, freshwater ecosystems, and all who depend upon them for their lives and livelihoods.
Acknowledging that rivers are essential to all life by supporting a wondrous diversity of species and ecosystems, aware that rivers also play a vital role in the functioning of Earth’s hydrologic cycle, and recognizing the absolute dependence of people on rivers and water-based systems, we are convinced that recognizing the rights of nature will foster the creation of a new legal and social paradigm based on living in harmony with nature and respecting both the rights of nature and human rights.
