Watersheds and Fresh Water: A Crucial Update

The Amazon watershed is a complex and vast ecosystem that has reached a tipping point. The 'flying rivers' of moisture generated by the forest and the ribbon of waterways that flow through the region have impacts far beyond the Amazon itself, regulating moisture and climate across North America and beyond.

As the Amazon is destroyed through deforestation, tipping points are increasing the feedback loops - dieback, fire and more are affecting these hydrological cycles, and present enormous risks for food production, drought and quality of life.

Learn about the hydrological cycle, the Amazon watershed, and how watersheds worldwide are at risk, what we can do about the issue, and what's possible. Everyone needs fresh water, and the world must save its water systems.

This workshop and conversation is hosted with a constellation of fresh water oriented NGOs.
