International Rivers Network

International Rivers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting rivers and advocating for the rights of communities that depend on them, with a strong focus on resisting destructive hydropower projects and promoting sustainable energy alternatives. Since its inception in 1985, the organization has become a vital part of the global movement to ensure that river-dependent communities' voices are heard and their rights are respected.

Through investigative research, fearless campaigning, and partnerships with civil society organizations, International Rivers strengthens movements at the forefront of defending rivers. The organization aims to generate robust data to inform policies, delay or stop harmful river projects, and shift funds toward sustainable practices, thereby ensuring the preservation of freshwater ecosystems and the rights of indigenous peoples.
