The Quebradas, Ecuadorian rivers and ravines (in the city of Quito, they are collapsing under various anthropogenic pressures), were the guests of the second key moment of the International of Rivers on November 16, 2024, at Le Lieu Unique in Nantes. The voice of the Quebradas was carried by Estefanía Pabón Fonseca, environmental activist and founder of the grassroots collective Quebradas Vivas Quito.
The collective brings together local residents and defenders of Quito's watersheds, working to preserve, ensure the safety of, and monitor the integrity of more than 100 watercourses.
