Waterkeeper Initiatives

Leader: James Arthur Bruen

Waterkeeper Alliance is the umbrella organization for some 300 waterkeepers in the United States and abroad. The International Pro Bono Committee is the interface between Waterkeeper Alliance and international Waterkeeper projects around the globe. For 2021, those projects (to date) include opportunities to become strategic advisors to local Waterkeepers who oppose dam projects on the Mekong River in Laos and the Karnali River in Nepal. Those projects also include opportunities to teach at international training summits in Latin America (by Zoom), China (by Zoom or in person), Sweden (by Zoom or in person) and Canada (by Zoom or in person).
