Save The Tigris
Foundation
For decades, water politics in the Mesopotamian region have not acknowledged access to water as a human right.
The Tigris-Euphrates rivers have been degraded by megaprojects, pollution, drought and climate change. Local communities have been omitted from genuine participation in the decision-making process over water resources management.
Save the Tigris advocates internationally for the protection and democratic use of the Tigris-Euphrates rivers.
Our Mission
We are a civil society advocacy platform aiming to promote water justice in the Mesopotamian basin. Save the Tigris seeks to link groups and movements from Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran concerned with the protection of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
