We need free-flowing rivers!

“Giving rivers more room to move can represent a mutually beneficial solution for both the freshwater biodiversity crisis and flood hazard management as climate-driven extremes escalate.”

Floodplain rivers are among the most valuable ecosystems, write Christina McCabe & @jdtonkin.bsky.social - we should let them roam free to better manage flood risk, support biodiversity, improve water quality and store carbon. Research published in @naturewaterjnl.bsky.social

Where a river is given more space to move, they support biodiversity from genes, to species, to entire food webs → www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Excellent to see Christina and Jono leading this important conversation on the life of rivers, and solutions to flooding @tepunahamatatini.bsky.social
