Vision
Mission
To mainstream freshwater biodiversity research & conservation and bring fresh waters back to life.
A baby born today in India should, on average, expect to live for 75 years. But if we don't change what we're doing with our freshwater resources it seems likely that this baby, along with over a billion other people, will run out of water long before the end of this single lifetime.
Why we exist
80% of our freshwater is at risk due to misuse, mismanagement and carelessness. More than 40% of all freshwater biodiversity is threatened with extinction. Sadly, our waters are being polluted and degraded at a rapid rate.
Fortunately there is a way out -We can breathe life back into our waters
