Waterkeeper Warriors

Presented in partnership with Culture Trip

Waterkeeper Warriors showcases 20 Waterkeepers who have fought and won some of the most significant clean water battles of the past 20 years and face the greatest challenges of the future.

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Waterkeeper Alliance, our partners at Culture Trip dispatched photographers to locations around the globe to capture the spirit of these Warriors, who are at the heart of a global movement of more than 300 Waterkeeper groups to protect clean drinking water and irreplaceable water sources for nearly a billion people.

Watch the video now, narrated by Lupita Nyong’o.

We invite you to take in our full Waterkeeper Warriors gallery, and listen to these environmental activist stories, voiced by friends including Alec Baldwin, Pierce Brosnan, Dylan Bruno, Glenn Close, Larry David, Jon Hamm, Woody Harrelson, Rachael Harris, Michael Keaton, Keegan-Michael Key, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Camryn Manheim, Lupita Nyong’o, Rosie Perez, Gordon Ramsay, Susan Sarandon, Sarah Silverman, and more.
