Save freshwater pearl mussels from extinction


Freshwater pearl mussels are important for the wellbeing of rivers, but human activity has made them highly endangered. 

A tiny mussel cleans water by filtering it, and when it moves, it adds oxygen to the riverbed. This is crucial for many species. If the mussels disappear from a river, the whole ecosystem of the river changes and also other species disappear. 

Together we can save mussels and other members of the species from extinction!  By making a donation, you can help ensure that the important research and cultivation work continues into the future.
