More on World Rivers Day

The Big Wild, a conservation partnership between MEC and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, dedicated to protecting at least 50% of Canada’s wilderness, thinks the sound of a river represents conservation. That’s why we’ve created two awesome tools all about river education.

The first is an infographic that zeros in on the world’s top 20 longest rivers and compares their length and volume.

The second tool is a collection of 16 unique sounds you might hear standing on a river bank in Canada. You’ll be entered to win a $250 MEC gift card if you can identify as many animals as possible, based on their call.
