America's Most Endangered Rivers - (Page Cover2) About the Report The America’s Most Endangered RiversTM report is one of the best-known and longest-lived annual reports in the environmental movement — but it is much more than that. Each year, grassroots river conservationists team up with American Rivers to use the report to save their hometown river, consistently scoring policy successes that benefit these rivers and the communities through which they flow. American Rivers solicits nominations from thousands of river groups, environmental organizations, outdoor clubs and others for the America’s Most Endangered RiversTM report. Our staff and scientific advisors review the nominations for the following criteria: The magnitude of the threat to the river A major decision point in the coming year I The regional and national significance of the river I I The report highlights ten rivers whose fate will be decided in the coming year, and encourages decisionmakers to do the right thing for the rivers and the communities they support. The report presents alternatives to proposals that would damage rivers, identifies those who make the crucial decisions, and directs the public to opportunities to take action on behalf of each listed river. American Rivers would like to thank Barbara Cohn for her dedicated financial support of this campaign. By helping us spread the word about threats to America’s rivers and highlight rivers in particular jeopardy, Cohn’s generosity helps ensure a better future for these important resources. As in years past, we expect this report will contribute to positive outcomes for the rivers featured on its pages.
