I want to hear more story's just like this one !
Wonderful people making the world better
Thank you so much I love you guys
That's why I love nature, people like them. Its so good for the Planet Earth.
thanks for posting this follow up on the progress of things. This is an amazing project!!
a brilliant film on how they are helping the fish to go back once again...
It should be noted that this WAS indeed a National Park and STILL it got a big push back so you can imagine how hard it is to de-commission dams that arent on protected land. All the development that accompanies dams have powerful vested interests. Not all the time but often. But nice to see man conceding a few points after running up the score for so long.
Amazing. Well done. Thanks for sharing this!
Great film - really enjoyed learning about this river. Thanks Earthrise.
The Little Ruru you do realize this network is run by terrorists right??
@@mikegardiner3272 they’re from Qatar not some terrorist place
Amazing project. thanks for sharing
One Dam down a million to go.
Wonderful!!
any more recent updates on the elwah?
Don't forget about the beaver the keystone species keeps the water on land
What a wonderful effort took place, yet so less views.
Unfortunately, too many peeps don't like Aljazeera. Their guy seemed to do a great job getting involved and asking the right questions.
People don't care
Those last few seconds of the first nation's Creation Story brought a tear. We talk about the Fist Nations lands being physically destroyed but the spiritual aspects of their culture being destroyed is more heart breaking. Losing your ability to worship at places your ancestors deemed holy is soul destroying.
I am glad and happy to $ee mother i$ being heald.
unfortunately "MOTHER" didnt do a great job enforcing education to one of her own.

Uh, no. That was god's handy work. You know. All that 'in his own image' stuff.
All that time, effort and money to remove the dam, just to add 3,000,000 more predatory fish all within 24 hours? Good luck with the restoration.
It is now 2019 I wounder if there will be an update? Hoping for success like the yellowstone and wolves.
I totally agree with the wolves in Yellowstone and I hope they restore the grizzly population in California ! ! This would mean so much to our beautiful United States of America :)
Watch rising from the ashes its also about the Elwha released in 2020, things are looking good!
Actually, it's 2021.
Any new developments in 2019 to report?
They will not report because it failed and the money will dry up!!
@@antbran1916 Actually, if you had paid attention at 19.55 the guy said: "It's gonna take at least 5 to 10 years to know if the fish are actually coming back."
@@capicuaaa why are you reprimanding the guy maybe he missed that part plus it is going to take possibly up to 50 years to see how much of a success this was.
If you are still wondering look up rising from the ashes, it's a short video about Steelhead in the Elwha released this year. Things are looking better!

Good call, Gabe.
why do i hear farming simulator music at 8:40 ?
Estuarine conditions may have had both beavers ad common muskrats that are riparian experts in controlling water flows by actively managing associated habitat variables which offer backwaters, pools, riparian plant species diversity, interactions between the two species which co-exist in creating highly effective fish and insect diversities by having floating vegetation mats, increased insect and nutrient uptakes, nutrient cycling, and an actual relationship that offers a communal ecosystem that integrates nicely with the stewardship of many aquatic species, These are significant as they actively integrate on creating the effective constituents of a more natural riverine ecosystem of a lotic, dynamic water table which is receiving attention due to the connectivity and active integration of their activities near the mouth and estuary. Muskrats do inhabit salt water estuaries and can be commensal in effect and the two species do get along quite uniquely in diversifying the river channel and function as well as near the estuary especially.
Awesome job dude....NOW THE BIOLOGISTS will artificially introduce the damned things, probably a species native to eurasia and next time you comment it will have to be on the invasive and harmful species let run amok in and around the ilwah river basin. Got to remember, the only good biologist is the one at the aquarium....the rest are political hacks looking to get face time and publishing creds for some retardation they thought up at 0230 in the morning during a dream about gaia
I can see both sides to the story. Man's quest for wealth and comforts vs. nature. Though I suppose humans and indeed other animals have been damming rivers for a long long time and while its effects arent benign, it does create very clean energy compared to fossil fuel. I am from Quebec where we have The James Bay which, is also controversial. In the end I suppose its a dated power supply and needs to probably be used sparingly if at all.
Most of us agree in the importance of protecting our environment. But we also appreciate progress, and electricity is vital to our everyday life. If we do not choose to make trade-offs, then maybe we should stop using electricity and go back to whale oil lamps and heating with wood. Oh, but that isn't environmentally friendly either. But we have renewable electricity sources you may say. Ya, but unless the area has ample wind and/or sunshine, those technologies typically cannot meet base load needs - meaning alternatives like fossil fuels, or nuclear power, are required somewhere else. So you don't want a dam, are you willing to allow a nuclear plant to be built in your state to achieve that goal? Or perhaps allow that old dirt burner in the next town to run another decade? I am not saying projects like this aren't important; but we all need to consider all life-cycle factors, not just one or two we champion. Otherwise, we are destined to repeat the same mistakes made in the past.
70% of the power made by dam was used to run the paper mill owned by mainly foreign investors. Did the local framers, tribe and businesses get compensated for their losses?
More Co2 Lies
Let it be known that it was a Republican president that pushed through to start this beautiful project . George W. Bush.
the dam would fail or the lake would slit up at some point . where there is no long term use of this river . i see this post as a pointless statement , the river best serves mankind as a fish farm
A pointless statement due to your ignorance of ecology. Dam removal will allow fish species to re-establish and bring back the tribe's livelihood. A fish farm that will become healthier with the dam's removal.
You're a douche that is completely disconnected from what made you: Nature.
Didn’t you hear the biologist point that the salmon brings up nutrients from the sea. The odd thing about the Pacific Northwest is due to its high rain. It washes most nutrients back to sea 🌊. The salmon is one of few fish that evolved or you may want to say, god provided to reverse that ecological imbalance.
Humans, especial those of the paler persuasion "How will this benefit 'ME'?" IE $$$$$$
Yes you mean greedy selfish bastards distroying our beautiful world and killing all the wonderful creatures .it's evil !so it's so nice seeing these excellent people reversing that damage !
