Klamath Indigenous Land Trust purchases 10,000 acres for conservation as salmon return upriver
With salmon returning to the upper reaches of the Klamath River following the removal of four dams, the newly established Klamath Indigenous Land Trust (KILT) has purchased 10,000 acres of salmon habitat for conservation. … The return of salmon to the Klamath River has been a bright spot for Pacific salmon along the U.S. West Coast, where dwindling populations have resulted in three years of cancelled commercial salmon seasons. State, federal, and Tribal authorities have invested heavily in conservation and recovery efforts to help the population rebound, including the removal of dams and other fish barriers.
