International Rivers
Updated - Monday 07 January 2008
The mission of International Rivers is to protect rivers and defend the rights of communities that depend on them. It opposes destructive dams and the development model they advance, and encourages better ways of meeting people’s needs for water, energy and protection from damaging floods.
Based in five continents, the organisation's staff has expertise in dams, energy and water policy, climate change, and international financial institutions. It works with a global network of dam-affected people, environmentalists, human rights advocates and experts who are committed to fighting destructive river projects and promoting better alternatives.
International Rivers (formerly known as International Rivers Network or IRN), was founded in 1985 and the focus of its work is in Latin America, Asia and Africa.
