World Rivers Week celebrates and acknowledges the importance of our rivers. As the lifeblood of our planet, rivers need protection and sustainable management. Through awareness and action, we can help preserve these critical natural resources.
Locally, the Dipolog River played a special role in the formation of the early settlement of Subanens in pre-colonial Dipolog. Today, our river plays a multitude of roles in the daily life of locals.
This annual observance highlights the many values of our rivers, strives to increase public awareness, and encourages the improved stewardship of all rivers around the world. Rivers in virtually every country face an array of threats, and only through our active involvement can we ensure their health in the years ahead.
