Sitting by a river is magical. As you watch the water flow, you wonder where it all comes from and where it is going. River systems are the greatest repositories of amazing biodiversity and we cannot let them get damaged any further. It is a time of restoration, a time of giving back in this UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. Let each one of us take action to preserve and conserve nature if we hope to avert a looming climate change crisis. We do not have a choice if we hope to continue benefitting from the bounty of nature.
