Monitoring pollution in the Huallaga River
This mission marked an important step for Saving Rivers and Lakes and ASOECOLEO Huánuco. Over two days we followed the Huallaga from its highland source to the city of Huánuco, documenting how mining, farming, and urban activity shape the river. The team combined local knowledge and technical expertise, making the monitoring both rigorous and deeply connected to the communities that depend on the river.
