世界河川日

如果你是一个喜欢大自然的环保倡导者，喜欢听河流的轰鸣声，那么，今天的世界河川日一定不要错过。继2005年至2015年联合国“生命之水”
国际行动十年之后，加拿大保育生物学家马克·安杰洛（Mark
Angelo）提出了一项保护河流的全球性活动。自2005年起，联合国将每年9月的第四个星期日定为世界河川日，旨在关注和保护河流的环境、文化及生态。

今天图片的主角，弗雷泽河，是不列颠哥伦比亚省最长的河流，也是加拿大第11长的河流。这条河的源头位于落基山脉，蜿蜒穿越超过854英里的坡地和平原，最后汇入温哥华以南的乔治亚海峡。

World Rivers Day

If you are a nature enthusiast, or simply enjoy listening to the sound of rumbling rivers, you might like to know that today is World Rivers Day. First held in 2005 during the United Nations' 'Water for Life’ campaign, it was proposed by Canadian river conservationist Mark Angelo, who founded BC Rivers Day in western Canada in 1980. World Rivers Day is held on the fourth Sunday of September to celebrate and raise awareness of the benefits that rivers provide to people and the planet.

The star of today's image, the Fraser River, is the longest river in British Columbia and the 11th longest in Canada. The stream meanders from the Rocky Mountains, traveling more than 850 miles over slopes and flatlands before it merges with the Strait of Georgia, just south of Vancouver.
