Why care about freshwater fish? And how you can make a difference for our fishy rivers and lakes

Water connects all living things, and rivers and lakes have stories to tell. Within them is a colorful world full of freshwater fish who have the power to create healthier rivers, a thriving abundance of wildlife, and even stronger communities. Whether you live near a tiny urban creek or a mighty river, freshwater ecosystems need our help—and the solutions are closer than you think. In this episode of World Wildlife Fund’s Wildlife Café series, Alexander Nicolas and Madalen Howard talk about how we all have the power to “choose our change” and can play a part in protecting our precious freshwater ecosystems to live in better harmony with them.
