CBDA remains committed to water management, flood control & irrigation, but clean rivers are a shared responsibility. Let us honor those we've lost by building cleaner, healthier, resilient communities in harmony with the waters that sustain us. #WorldRiversDay

[Chad Basin Development Authority @ChadBasinDev]

Today, we marked the 2025 World Rivers Day themed "Clean Rivers, Healthy Communities". This year's theme resonates deeply with us at the CBDA as it is a reminder that the health of our rivers is directly tied to the health, safety & prosperity of our people.

Today is not just remembrance but renewal, we must prevent future tragedies by investing in resilient infrastructure, adapting cities to climate change, restoring ecosystems, and keeping rivers clean from pollution & waste. #WorldRiversDay

The value of #Gabon's forest ecosystem services almost doubled between 2000 and 2020, to $75.1 billion, with 99% coming from carbon retention services. Gabon’s forests are well-preserved, thanks to sustainable forestry and a highly urban, small population: https://t.co/M6lT7SCysI
