Water protectors are individuals and groups who advocate for the preservation and respectful stewardship of water resources, often in response to environmental threats or projects like pipelines, mining, or industrial pollution. They emphasize the importance of clean water for ecosystems, communities, and future generations, recognizing water as a vital and sacred resource. Water protectors may engage in activism, advocacy, and legal efforts to oppose actions they believe harm water quality or violate indigenous rights and sovereignty, emphasizing the need for sustainable and equitable management of water sources.
