As
a co-founder of Friends of the River and the International Rivers
Network, Mark Dubois has long been a leader in river conservation.
In 1979, he captured national headlines when he chained himself to
the bedrock of the Stanislaus River Canyon as a new reservoir filled.
While his action forced only a temporary reprieve for the Stanislaus,
the growing movement to protect rivers brought a halt to major dam
building in the United States. Dubois was international coordinator
for Earth Day 1990 & 2000, events that involved 200 million people
from 184 countries. He coordinated ten consecutive lobbying efforts
at World Bank/IMF annual meetings, and he founded WorldWise, a grassroots
campaign for international development bank reform. His presentations
focus on river conservation, the power of individuals to make a difference,
and the maturation of the international environmental movement.
