Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Bio

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has traveled the world, spreading awareness of water preservation and improving laws to protect the environment. He is credited with negotiating the New York City's watershed agreement and with several treaties in Latin America and Canada to secure traditional homelands. He helped turn the tide against the anti-environmental legislation created during the 104th Congress. After helping restore the Hudson River, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was named one of Time magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet.” This title, as well as his work with the Waterkeeper organizations around the world, makes Kennedy a key speaker at the 2007 Waterways conference.
