Join Audubon and conservation photographer Dave Showalter for a unique web event: an epic visual journey through the vast Colorado River watershed. Showalter's new book, Living River: The Promise of the Mighty Colorado paints a galvanizing picture of the living Colorado River and the challenges it faces. It will inspire people of all walks of life to cherish and protect the life, beauty, and resilience of this dynamic life force.

As the seven states of the century-old Colorado River Compact renegotiate the river's management guidelines, which expire in 2026, Living River journeys through the endangered Colorado River from source to sea and illustrates how we can create a resilient watershed by changing our relationship with water. Featuring stunning photography and powerful essays, Living River captures breathtaking landscapes rich with wildlife, from the upper Colorado's tributary Fraser River to the southwestern Gila and San Pedro rivers. Along the way, Showalter weaves in the stories of riverkeepers who work tirelessly to protect and preserve the river and its surrounding communities.
