IRN supports local communities working to protect their rivers and
watersheds. IRN works to halt destructive river development
projects, and to encourage equitable and sustainable methods of
meeting needs for water, energy and flood management. IRN seeks a
world in which rivers and their watersheds are valued as living
systems and are protected and nurtured for the benefit of the
human and biological communities that depend on them. This
vision can be achieved by developing worldwide understanding of
the importance of rivers and their essential place in the struggle
for environmental integrity, social justice, and human rights.
