Río Urbano

For healthy rivers and sustainable communities. We promote management and recovery processes of our rivers and their urban environments together with the citizen. About us We are a non-profit NGO that seeks to change the way we see, feel and relate to the rivers that flow through our cities. We promote the re-encounter of citizens with these natural spaces and their involvement in processes of physical-environmental regeneration. We have worked since 2012 promoting processes of awareness, education, training and citizen involvement towards issues of rivers and urban sustainability, based on the need to involve citizens in different processes of river recovery and for it to assume a leading role in these processes. Our goal Our goal is that our urban rivers are valued as part of the identity of our cities, recognizing their potential to generate ecosystem and socio-cultural benefits for citizens in harmony with the environment. We believe that healthy rivers and sustainable cities are possible. What do we do? We sensitize and empower citizens to involve them in urban watershed management and recovery processes. We start from a comprehensive basin intervention approach with the approach of multiple axes of action. We promote a new "river culture" that values these natural elements through six fundamental axes: - Communication and dissemination - Education and culture - Communal link - Volunteer - Coordination and incidence - Investigation
