world Rivers Day

World Rivers Day, celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of September, is an international event dedicated to raising public awareness about the importance of rivers and promoting their conservation. Initiated by river conservationist Mark Angelo in 2005, the day encourages communities, schools, and governments to take action to protect rivers from threats like pollution, overuse, and climate change. Activities on this day range from river clean-ups and tree planting to educational seminars and advocacy, all with the goal of ensuring these vital waterways remain healthy for future generations.
