This is a collaborative project I worked on while at the International League of Conservation Photographers with the Wild Salmon Center.
In 1892, Livingston Stone, a Minister and avid fisherman called upon the US government to create a salmon park, saying “Let us now, at the eleventh hour, take pity on our long persecuted salmon and do him the poor and tardy justice of giving him, in our broad land that he has done so much for, one place where he can come and go unmolested and where he can rest in safety.” We have yet to pay attention to those great words, stated over a century ago.
Protection of wild salmon strongholds must be at the heart of every federal, regional, tribal, and local conservation strategy.
