Jenny Hoffner and Eileen Shader, CFM, American Rivers
Rivers are essential to all life on earth, but our rivers are at risk as never before from climate change, pollution, drought, flooding, and loss of natural habitat. American Rivers is championing a national effort to protect and restore all rivers, from remote mountain streams to urban waterways. We have 50 years of experience addressing river threats from coast-to-coast — helping partners protect vital habitat, working with communities to reduce river pollution, securing policies to ensure we all have clean water, driving solutions that reduce the risk of floods while reconnecting floodplains, working to remove unnecessary dams, and strengthening a river movement that adds power to this important work. This presentation will provide an overview of American Rivers’ conservation strategies being put into action to advance innovative nature-based solutions and promote transformational river management and policy that prioritizes healthy rivers.
