JILL WEITZ on Salmon Beyond Borders /165

The Taku, Stikine, and Unuk Rivers are three of the largest salmon producing rivers that originate in so-called British Columbia and flow into Southeast Alaska. These transboundary rivers breath vital nourishment, cultural vibrancy, and economic sustenance into this region, yet there are no enforceable policies to protect wild salmon, clean water, or the many jobs and lifeways they support from mining projects upstream. In this special, in-person interview with Jill Weitz, campaign director at Salmon Beyond Borders, we take a closer look at the corporate mining sector and transboundary watersheds, following wild salmon in their path across borders to find common ground in the issues that unite us all. Music by Eliza Edens, Bird By Snow, Treya Lam. Visit our website at forthewild.word for the full episode description, references, and action points.
