                         Free-flowing rivers need your help 
                 
           
                       


                        Only 30% of the world’s rivers are free-flowing. YOU can help keep those rivers as nature intended. Donate today to support rivers and human rights!



                        International Rivers has worked for decades alongside local river protectors to keep rivers healthy and free. Just recently, we supported over 80 Indigenous leaders and community members to file a lawsuit to save the last free-flowing river in Asia. 



                        The proposed Salween Water Diversion Project will construct multiple dams and tunnels to divert water from the transboundary Salween Basin. If built, the project will impact at least five protected forests and threaten the livelihoods of over 10 million people, many from Indigenous and ethnic minority communities.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        “If we don’t stand up and reveal the truth, we will be trampled on,” stated Sathan Chiewwichaiphong, one of the plaintiffs. 



                        The lawsuit was a critical step in safeguarding this important and iconic river, but the fight is far from over. To keep pressure on governments and corporations, local activists all over the world need your help.
