Description EnglishThe largest dam removal in U.S. history has received final federal approval in a major victory for environmentalists and Native American communities. The four aging hydroelectric dams along the border of the U.S. states of California and Oregon have been blamed for the decline of salmon and other species. Matt Dibble has our story from the Klamath River, where Indigenous communities have fought for decades to protect an important source of food and cultural heritage.
