Yesterday marked
#WorldRiversDay, a celebration of the world’s waterways. Did you know, rivers in virtually every country face an array of threats, and only through our help can we ensure that they stay healthy in the years ahead?
In addition to being oxygen-producers, trees provide a range of other important benefits to rivers, people and animals, including:
🏞️ Slowing rainwater runoff
🏞️ Providing important habitats for all kinds of river animals
🏞️ Keeping our rivers cool
🏞️ Capturing carbon dioxide
🏞️ Improving water quality and absorbing and filtering pollution from soil and air
🏞️ Creating beautiful places for us to gather, reflect, and enjoy nature, riverside
Don’t forget to tell your friends about how rivers and trees need our help.
