Rivers and Lakes Protecting Services
Freshwater ecosystems—rivers and lakes—provide us with drinking water, food, energy, transportation—even joy. But a staggering amount of fresh water is wasted or spoiled everyday, and experts warn that in the next 20 years, half of the world’s population could face water shortages. There are practical solutions to freshwater conservation—solutions that ensure we meet our current needs and conserve this precious resource for future generations—but we must take bold action now.
Oceans and Coastal Protection
We call it the `Blue Planet` for a reason: Oceans cover more than 70 percent of the globe.From our oceans, we get fish to eat, clean air to breathe, as yet undiscovered medicines to treat disease and new places to harness energy. Whether we live near the coast, or far inland, the oceans make our lives better.
