The removal of the Klamath River dams will have effects for decades, but one of the most important has already started to show. Less than a month after the dams came down, there are salmon in a Klamath stream where they haven't been seen in 100 years.

Never let anyone tell you there's nothing we can do, that things are too far gone to try. There's still so much we can save, and some we can even bring back.

Salmon return to Klamath Basin in Oregon after more than a century

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife spotted the fish on a tributary above the former J.C. Boyle Dam site, just north of the California border. Several more soon followed it.
