Description

In this episode, we meet activists and campaigners who believe rivers and nature should have legal rights – just like people. They walk rivers, swim in urban waterways, write books, work with communities, and even take governments to court. All with one goal: ensuring clean, healthy rivers and cities where people can swim safely.


Featuring:

  • Matt Sykes – Co-Founder, Swimmable Cities
  • Li An Phoa – Initiator, Drinkable Rivers
  • Robert MacFarlane – Author
