In River Tigers, Guido Rahr Dives Into One of the World's Last Wild Places, Hunting for Taimen

Roughly half of watersheds home to Siberian taimen are beyond the reach of even the most intrepid scientists—buffered by roadless expanses of larch, Korean pine, northern hardwoods, and spruce that have survived the illegal logging that feeds a voracious global appetite for wood in recent decades. Journeying there is like going back in time. This November, WSC premieres River Tigers, a new 14-minute film ([link removed]) with production partners at MaserFilms and Yonder Content, that takes you to the crown jewel of Russian salmon strongholds: the Tugur.

If the Dams Fall
On Northern California’s Klamath River, dams have brought spring Chinook to the edge. To save them, Indigenous knowledge is key. The second story in our ongoing spring Chinook series ([link removed]) picks up the story at the Karuk Tribe's fishery at Ishi Pishi Falls, 100 miles from the Klamath's last chance to save the first salmon.

Pebble Pressure Ramps Up
After the release of the Pebble Tapes ([link removed]), Alaska decisionmakers are speaking out more strongly against Pebble Mine. Last week, Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Pebble is “the wrong mine in the wrong place,” and committed to long-term protections for Bristol Bay. Let’s keep up the pressure. Can you share this social post ([link removed])? And tell Congress today to Stop Pebble Mine ([link removed]).

A 70-Year Conservation Plan for the Tillamook
For more than two decades, we've fought to secure protected areas along rivers and in key watersheds on Oregon's Tillamook Forest, a globally important salmon stronghold and temperate rainforest less than an hour from Portland. On October 6 we took a big step forward ([link removed]).

Tell the U.S. Army Corps to Nix the Chehalis Dam
A proposed dam on Washington's Chehalis River goes too far, costs too much, and benefits too few. This summer, Gov. Inslee told state agencies to hit pause. But it's still moving forward at the federal level. Please tell the U.S. Army Corps that you do NOT support the dam ([link removed]).
