Save The Tigris Foundation

Save The Tigris Foundation is a civil society advocacy platform that promotes water justice in the Mesopotamian basin. Save the Tigris seeks to link groups and movements from Iraq, Türkiye, Syria and Iran concerned with the protection of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
Their platform provides international solidarity and supports the exchange of knowledge. They advocate for policies that secure ecological justice including the equitable and democratic use of water for all who live in the Mesopotamian region.

Save the Tigris believes a paradigm shift is necessary: instead of being a source of rivalry, water should be a force for peace and cooperation between all the countries and peoples of the Tigris-Euphrates basin.

The Foundation advocates for safe access to water for all the people of the Mesopotamian region, and policies that secure the sustainable and equitable use of water for all those who live in Mesopotamia and for the coming generations.

Save The Tigris Foundation’s work is organized across 4 pillars:

Exchanging and building networks
Research on topics related to water resources in the Mesopotamian basin
Advocacy and awareness raising activities
Organizing Mesopotamian Water Forum
