The pressures on freshwater ecosystems are unprecedented and increasing. Contemporary human activities have resulted in catastrophic reductions in freshwater biodiversity, environmental degradation, and a diminishing gene pool. Aquatic biodiversity is declining as a consequence of increased harvest pressures, pollution, habitat alteration, introduction of non-native species, and climate change. Safeguarding and rehabilitating these ecosystems are not merely an environmental obligation but also crucial for the preservation of life on Earth.
