Eastern Hellbender
Rivers are lifelines that sustain an abundance of life, including endangered species like the Eastern Hellbender, freshwater mussels, and Southern Resident orcas. Today, our rivers face unprecedented threats from pollution, crumbling infrastructure, and the brutal effects of extreme weather.
Freshwater species are going extinct twice as fast as ocean and land species. Our freshwater ecosystems are suffering, and entire worlds of miraculous creatures are vanishing.
This crisis demands action. We must protect rivers and restore freshwater habitats so the species who live there can thrive.
Approximately a quarter of the world’s freshwater wildlife are at risk of extinction due to loss of habitat. We have the power to change this, but it will take all of us.
Join us by pledging to protect the rivers that endangered species depend on to survive!
