"Urgent Call to Protect Endangered Rivers Across America"
American Rivers has released its 39th annual "most endangered rivers" list, highlighting 10 waterways facing threats such as sewage, toxic algae, and construction. New Mexico's rivers top the list due to a Supreme Court decision limiting the Clean Water Act's enforcement, leaving 96% of the state's streams vulnerable. Other imperiled rivers include the Big Sunflower and Yazoo Rivers in Mississippi, the Duck River in Tennessee, and the Santa Cruz River in Arizona. Advocates urge action to protect these rivers and press for stronger clean water protections.
