International rivers and their deltas are vulnerable to flooding, water intrusion, drought and severely damaged ecologies. Deltas are the critical point where the rivers flow in nature's cycle to revitalize the oceans and earth. Join two distinguished experts for a discussion of the damage and destruction to the world's deltas. Learn what the international Delta Alliance and their partners are doing to restore major rivers and deltas, including the Nile Delta, Yangtze Delta and the Mississippi Delta and hear what International Rivers and their partners are doing to protect the world's great rivers from the current surge of large dam construction, which threatens the health and productivity of deltas from Africa to Latin America to Southeast Asia.
