Don't Take Rivers For Granted 3rd Oct 2018, by WWF Malaysia
Our Freshwater Leader Daria Mathew writes:
"Despite their many uses and benefits to mankind, rivers in our country are often overlooked and remain a low priority for policymakers until the next flash flood or severe drought happens. Over the recent years, Malaysia has seen a higher frequency and more intense dry spells, which have affected the availability of water resources in many parts of the country."

Unknown to many, Rajang River is one of the homes to the Irrawaddy dolphin, a flagship species in #Sarawak.
These can be found in the #Rajang, #Belawai and #Paloh rivers which make up the Rajang Delta at the estuary.
With #pollution from human activities upstream and rapid development near the Rajang delta, the dolphins are becoming more threatened each day.
Do you know that dolphins may mistakenly consume floating rubbish like #plastics as food? Even though Irrawaddy dolphins are still thri...

We all use rivers one way or another. More than 90% of our water for daily use come from the rivers. Despite being used as water for domestic needs and recreation, people also treat rivers as rubbish dumping site out of #convenience.
It is not because lack of awareness, but public apathy on adverse environmental impacts.
It is everyone’s #duty to conserve and protect our rivers. Our lives and #actions are connected to rivers in more ways than we know.

Sarawak’s rivers serve as the super highways for rural communities, especially in #Baleh, #Ngemah, #Katibas, etc. Most of the #boatmen are experts in manoeuvring their way along these rivers.
They are familiar with the treacherous rivers – where dangerous tree trunks and rocks are; every turn of the meandering rivers; and raging waters.
This photo shows how the boatmen and their passengers are pushing a boat upstream in a shallow passage of a river in Baleh.
