Restoring California's Klamath River with Chuck Bonham

Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith

"Up in Oregon, sixty miles from that old dam site, adult Chinook salmon were swimming in the Klamath River. It happened in ten days, when our scientists were saying it might take ten years."
The largest dam removals in history just took place on California’s Klamath River. In the latest episode of Rewilding the World Ben Goldsmith talks with Chuck Bonham, Director of California Fish and Wildlife, about this iconic moment, and about the recovery of salmon, beavers, wolves and other wildlife in the Golden State.
This podcast was recorded before the wildfires happened in California.
Our thoughts are with all the victims of these tragic events.
