"Tribe-led Dam Removal Project Paves Way for Growth in the US"

The largest dam removal project in U.S. history is underway along the California-Oregon border, with the goal of restoring the Klamath River and its surrounding land to its natural state. Over the next decade, workers and Native American tribes will plant and monitor nearly 17 billion seeds to repopulate the area with native plants and create habitat for fish. The project aims to reverse the damage caused by the dams, which disrupted the river's flow and harmed salmon populations. While some homeowners and a water users association have opposed the project, the restoration efforts are seen as a crucial step in preserving the river's ecosystem and cultural significance to Native American tribes.
