As
a co-founder of Friends of the River and the International Rivers
Network, Mark Dubois has long been a leader in river conservation.
In 1979, he captured national headlines when he chained himself to
the bedrock of the Stanislaus River Canyon as a new reservoir filled.
While his action forced only a temporary reprieve for the Stanislaus,
the growing movement to protect rivers brought a halt to major dam
building in the United States.
