    It's amazing to hear the biologist at the end explain how the salmon also enrich the forest when bears and other animals that eat them carry them into the forest or defecate them there. Just goes to the point that everything is connected and in balance in natural ecosystems.

    I would love to see a longer documentary on this.
  • Very cool. Good for the Native American tribes that fought for this.
  • @jimlong527
    This is real progress. People and the environment must coincide.
  • @skypieper
    Looking forward to the Klamath dam removal!
  • Very nice, great work. We visited that area a number of times in the last 5 years and the changes are remarkable. Keep it up folks.
  • Very good news! Hope that sustainable levels of fish will soon be the result with further enrichment for the natural environment and the native people.
  • Finally answers the age old question about a bear shitting in the woods.

    Things like the Elwha being undammed and the Pebble mine being denied permits give me hope for the future. I think we need a full stop moratorium on old growth logging and development projects that impact salmon habitat in the PNW. In fact old growth logging should be banned outright across the world imo.
