River StoriesWe are starting the collection and compilation of river strories here. We plan to link each stories in a global map to the river the story is about. Here are some initial stories: | Klamath Rivers |  | “We are about to witness healing on a major scale. Dam removal is the best way to bring a river back to life.

We should listen to Indigenous knowledge to help Country heal. The only way to learn is from the river, like our old people did when they sat on its high banks of red and green.” Oliver Costello | | Rio Grande |  | Creating a resilient river report card and scenario model for the Upper Rio Grande, Workshop report: The first stakeholder workshop to develop an eco-health report card and scenario model for the Upper Rio Grande occurred in late 2020.
