A historic turning point for the Klamath River and its iconic Chinook salmon population.

Known as King Salmon, these fish are the lifeblood of the Klamath Basin's ecosystem.

For over a century, massive dams blocked salmon from reaching their ancestral spawning grounds.

The largest dam removal project in U.S. history is finally restoring the river's flow.

Indigenous tribes fought for decades to bring the salmon home and heal their sacred waters.

Removing dams improves water temperature and quality, crucial for salmon survival.

Salmon can now access hundreds of miles of habitat previously locked away.

From eagles to bears, the entire food chain benefits from the return of the Chinook.

Researchers are monitoring the recovery, providing a blueprint for future river restoration.

Restoring the river supports local economies and preserves a way of life for generations.

The Klamath River flows free again, marking a historic era of environmental revival.
