Protecting rivers and defending the rights of the communities that depend on them

The River Resource Hub was built in response to an essential need identified by staff, researchers, partners, and river defenders around the world who depend on our website and materials for research.

To that end, we’ve created a comprehensive repository of reports, articles, factsheets, infographics, maps, and other media created in International Rivers’ thirty-six-year history, and for future material. This hub is designed for both a quick search from your mobile device while you’re in the field, or a deep dive into an issue to supplement your research.

Rivers are the arteries of the earth, supporting the highest rate of biodiversity compared to any other ecosystem and providing for the livelihoods of millions of local, indigenous and traditional peoples. Rivers are also under extreme threat, with less than 10% of the world’s river basins protected.

International Rivers strengthens movements of communities and civil society at the forefront of defending rivers by:

• Undertaking investigative research to generate robust data and evidence to inform policies and campaigns.
• Remaining independent and fearless in campaigning to expose and resist destructive projects.
• Developing a vision that protects rivers and the communities that depend upon them.
