Acting Locally
Our Local Action Partners are the heart of our mission to save the world’s most threatened freshwater species. By working directly in the regions where these species are at most risk, Local Action Partners deliver powerful solutions that halt extinctions and recover populations. These local teams know their ecosystems best, allowing them to act quickly and effectively, often where help is most needed.
From river restoration to habitat protection, their work makes a real impact on the ground, giving species a chance to survive and thrive.
Together, we’re not just protecting freshwater fish – we’re preserving the vital ecosystems that support communities and wildlife globally. Local action, global change – that’s how we’re making a difference.
