International Rivers is an amazing force for protecting and revitalizing the world's rivers and the cultures and and traditions that flow with them. They have done so much around the globe to link water and human rights that they should be recognized for this important work every day of the year. Without water there is no life. With sustainable rivers and strong cultural traditions we all thrive!

More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
they link the fate of ecosystems to the future of humankind

extremely knowledgeable, professional, and committed
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Ways to make it better...
I had known about this organization ten years earlier
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
a well-funded hydroelectric power industry and a world hell bent on developing in ways that required more energy every day
One thing I'd also say is that...
I'd like to see other environmental and human rights groups do what International Rivers has done as far as making the links between ecosystems and human rights
