Twelve years ago, the first participants of what would become a global event of immeasurable significance inaugurated the International Day of Action in Curitiba, Brazil. They were eager to designate a day of protest against construction of destructive, often privately-owned dams and hydroelectric projects, but also excited to establish a high-profile event to celebrate rivers. Even more importantly, they were poised to create a powerful, multinational network of citizens committed to the preservation of rivers, water and life.

Communities in every region of the world take part in the International Day of Action for Rivers, and March 14th, 2009 was no exception.
