π¦ World Water Day
There is a water crisis affecting our territories.
The problem is not foreign to big cities. In Buenos Aires, both the rivers and the water we drink are contaminated. While extractivist projects that worsen the current crisis continue to be promoted, those who defend water and life are being criminalized.
Is it democracy when weβre persecuted for defending water?**
Water is a business for extractivist corporations.
For us, it is life

π Meet the Lake Titicaca Frog - one of the worldβs largest fully aquatic frogs! Found exclusively in the high-altitude waters of Lake Titicaca, this fascinating amphibian has developed loose, wrinkled skin to help it absorb oxygen directly from the water, allowing it to thrive at elevations over 3,800 meters (12,500 feet)! π«§π§

When everything is falling apart, the wild lakes and rivers bring me comfort and peace. I'm so glad that I have places like the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to escape to and have an adventure. The local lakes and riversβoverdeveloped, overcrowded, pollutedβjust aren't the same. I can't stand how every natural treasure comes under threat of exploitation and devastation whenever the vile old party comes into power.
Iβm doing my part on #WorldWaterDay by not showering or drinking water.
I guess I should say my #depression is doing its part.

From #Himalaya to #Arctic - #GlaciersAtRisk: A Wake-Up Call on #WorldWaterDay
Story by Namrata Dadwal, March 21, 2025
"This year on World Water Day on March 22, the UN is highlighting '#GlacierPreservation'. Why? Because these frozen reservoirs that supply freshwater to nearly two billion people are disappearing at an alarming rate due to #ClimateChange.
"According to the #Copernicus Climate Change Service (#C3S), Earth's #glaciers have lost over 8,200 gigatonnes of ice since 1976, leading to #RisingSeaLevels and #WaterScarcity concerns. Nearly 6,000 gigatonnes were lost between 2000 and 2023, with the 2010s being the worst decade on record for glaciers almost the annual ice loss was more than double that of the 1980s, with an average of 370 gigatonnes of ice vanishing each year."
