    2026

    Expanding Our Impact

    With a strong foundation, we will expand research, education and advocacy to protect freshwater ecosystems worldwide.

    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.
