ABOUT US

Free flowing rivers is a group of young people determined to create awareness across the continent on rivers and communities that are in threat of hydro-electrical dam projects.
We believe dams and displacement of communities should become part of our past and renewable energy sources part of our future.
We are producing a documentary, creating community programs and educational campaigns to inform and educate young people on the effects and alternatives of hydro-electrical dam projects. We envision a world that respects our right to a strong bond with our natural environment .  


WHY WE NEED FREE FLOWING RIVERS

CLEAN WATER
Free flowing, undeveloped rivers are our primary source of clean water for drinking, growing food, and manufacturing goods.

NATURAL HERITAGE
Free flowing rivers are an important part of our picturesque natural landscape; things of great beauty and purpose that we need to protect for future generations.

BIODIVERSITY
Free flowing rivers are complex ecosystems that are home to hundreds of sensitive, threatened, and endangered species of fish and wildlife.

PERSONAL RENEWAL
Free flowing rivers have been the focus of human activities for hundreds of thousands of years. We depend on wild and undeveloped rivers for outdoor recreation, inspiration and renewal of the spirit.

NATURAL SYSTEMS
Free flowing rivers use natural systems to effectively transport sediment and nutrients, provide riparian and aquatic habitat, renew topsoil in flood plains, supply the aquifer, and eventually complete nature's water cycle by flowing into the sea.
