What does it take to restore a species that’s central to culture, ecology, and economy? In episode 141, we sit down with Shannon Wheeler, Chairman of the Nez Perce Tribal Executive Committee, to explore their urgent efforts to restore salmon in the Columbia River Basin. From dam removal and stream restoration to public advocacy and tribal collaboration, Shannon sheds light on the complex challenges and opportunities in protecting these iconic fish. Drawing on the Nez Perce Tribe’s 1855 treaty rights and their creation story, Shannon shares how salmon inspire resilience, cooperation, and action. Listen in as we discuss the role of legislative progress, the tribe’s work through the Salmon Orca Project to bring these issues to the public’s attention, and the staggering statistics on why many salmon die before completing their migratory journey.

In episode 139 Roberta Swann, Director of the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program, shares her experience uniting diverse constituencies to safeguard Mobile Bay and Alabama's rich ecosystems—even in a traditionally conservative state.
