摘要： Rivers are the birthplace of human civilization and the foundation for modern development. Rivers and watersheds support the livelihoods of surrounding communities. A healthy watershed can help alleviate floods and droughts, nourish forests, replenish groundwater, maintain fisheries, and provide for rich and diverse human life. However, the unreasonable development and use of rivers by human beings has strongly disrupted the natural health of rivers, and freshwater ecosystems are losing species and habitats rapidly. In 2012, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Yangtze River Basin Fisheries Resources Management Commission (YFC) came together to form an EcoPartnership to help preserve the natural fisheries of two great rivers in China and America, the Yangtze and the Mississippi. Through the past decade, TNC and YFC have been working together to promote collaboration on river conservation - tackling the common challenges faced by freshwater ecosystems, sharing experiences and lessons, and exploring ways to protect the services and functions of river ecosystems.
