Climate change and biodiversity loss threaten our freshwater ecosystems, leading to extreme weather events like flooding, droughts, and ecosystem destruction.
Since 1970, we've lost nearly a third of the world's freshwater ecosystems.
Freshwater species populations have dropped by an average of 83% since 1970.
Freshwater systems provide the water we rely on for life. We must protect rivers, lakes, and wetlands for people, wildlife, and future generations.
By 2030, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) aims to conserve 1 million kilometers of rivers and 30 million hectares of lakes and wetlands worldwide.
Water conservation requires collective efforts—governments, communities, and experts working together to restore and protect these vital systems.
