The health of American rivers is essential to the communities and environments that depend on the beneficial ecosystem services provided. Historic impacts from mining, dams, and a variety of land use practices have left many river environments and riverside communities with a legacy of polluted waterways, erosion, and habitat degradation. With an increasing need to address river health it is essential to engage young adults in this work to conserve and preserve these resources for the future. Through emerging opportunities, young adults can learn skills, gain understanding, and physically work to restore and protect river systems. Programs- like those of the Southwest Conservation Corps- are working with partners to engage this population in various ways, providing much needed job training and education through stewardship. Michael Rendon will present on Southwest Conservation Corp’s Environmental Stewards program, highlighting past successes and engagement models for DOI Bureaus and non-profits interested in obtaining a Steward. Showcased will be Inyo County’s work on the Lower Owens River Project, along with a Sturgeon habitat restoration project with the USGS Great Lakes Science Center that was nominated for the 2013 Secretary of the Interior Partners in Conservation Award. Mike Wight will discuss collaborative work with corps programs and partnerships furthering multi-year, watershed-length habitat restoration initiatives on major tributaries in the Colorado River Basin. Word crews and interns provide much of the hands-on restoration implementation within these initiatives after completing comprehensive training. In all three of these programs, participants foster a respect for river systems while gaining valuable work experience and building resumes for future conservation careers. The Southwest Conservation Corps empowers individuals to positively impact their lives, their communities, and the environment.

No my friend, the river ganga is not pure

Youth Ki Awaaz: Mouthpiece for the Youth

The Ganges River, highly revered in Hinduism, has become severely polluted with human waste. An estimated 2.9 billion liters of raw sewage enters the river daily from cities along its banks. Environmental activists who cycled along major rivers in the Indo-Gangetic plains found the rivers resembled sewage and were unfit for bathing. The Ganga Action Plan of the 1980s failed to effectively reduce river pollution despite large investments. Rapid industrialization and lack of forest cover have led to further degradation of the environment. Urgent global action is needed to address pollution and protect the planet for future generations.
