We all have important values and ideas, things we care about and want to share. Sometimes we feel
our ideas can even change the world, and we want to let other people know how they can join in and make all our lives better
by protecting the environment of this planet.
This site will present our organization's cause or ideas to the world. As communicating isn't always
easy, we'll try to include photos and images that convey our message (remember, a well-chosen picture is a great way to get
a point across).

CALL TO ACTION ! March 14, 2005 is the eighth annual
International Day
of Action for Rivers. This is a time to join in solidarity to protest
destructive river development
schemes and celebrate successes over
the last year. It is also a time to fight for social justice and the
rights of
communities over their resources and lives. We invite you
to participate in this year's Day of Action by planning an event
to
celebrate rivers, water and life. As a special focus this year, we
are encouraging efforts to celebrate,
demonstrate and educate around
the theme of affected peoples and reparations for past damages. The
development
of dams in marginalized peoples' territories has been
almost universally a story of broken promises, damaged livelihoods,
drowned cultural sites and spiritual losses. But a new story is
unfolding, one where affected peoples facing seemingly
impossible
odds are prevailing, with river restoration taking place and efforts
to repair past damages are beginning.
