About this listen

Using engaging storytelling, A Reverence for Rivers draws listeners into the ethical dilemmas facing rivers worldwide, through stories about seven rivers Fausch came to know well. From the Salmon River, Oregon to the Sarufutsu River, Japan, he addresses threats like increasing water demands, habitat fragmentation, overfishing, and climate change.

Through narratives that translate science into language accessible to a broad audience, Fausch weaves together deep Indigenous histories and thoughtful observations of the natural world, reminding us that our connections to rivers flow from the stories we carry about our relationships with and responsibilities to these rivers. A Reverence for Rivers speaks to both the mind and heart, offering perspectives for creating an ethic of care for the running waters that feed not only our bodies but also our souls.
