“Water Defenders tells the story of environmental activists in El Salvador who scored a major victory, at great risk to themselves, against a multinational mining corporation that was causing irreversible harm to their waterways. Updating the original text to address new threats to defenders of the environment since the original publication, this adaptation shares this vital story in a way that invites in new audiences who might otherwise avoid difficult nonfiction reads.”
