Impact Project Focus Areas
Rivers are Life was established June 2022 with a goal to raise awareness of the importance of our freshwater resources. By the end of 2024 we had been on 33 watersheds working on 56 projects and telling 18 River Hero stories.
These projects all fall into three areas of impact:
Education & Awareness
Projects focused on education and awareness aim to show the importance of our shared river systems and equip people with the knowledge needed to engage in their safekeeping.
Water Quality & Ecosystem Health
Projects focused on water quality and ecosystem health support initiatives to improve, protect, and preserve waterways so that humans, animals, and wildlife can depend on their cleanliness and lasting supply.
Solutions to Address Waste
Projects focused on waste reduction and innovative problem-solving help support diverse efforts to alleviate human impact on natural ecosystems and find innovative solutions to address single-use materials
