In coordination with the national distancing rules, the Water Rising Festival took place in a new "distanced" fashion, empowering and engaging local citizens to help with a new program to complement the lake and river work, but this time for mountains "Pick Me Up, and Bring Me Down".

Recovery of the Ocean - You Can Make a Difference Upstream

By Feet and Hands, Boats and Dams with the Global Alert App

Along the Siem Reap River we used our Global Alert app to decide where the hotspots of plastic accumulation were along the river, and then worked with four local villages and their chiefs, along the river, to decide where to put up a series of catchment nets, with the help of the local fishermen. The results were great, and still continue, now bringing pride to the community there for their waters that they are happy to protect.
