This evening presentation will explore the abundance and decline of Idaho salmon and
steelhead, and how changing energy markets and needed change to infrastructure are creating
new hope for recovery based on economics and politics. Join distinguished experts Russ
Thurow, Jim Norton and Rick Johnson as we explore this crucial issue, as they inform and share
personal stories of their relationship to wild fish and wild places and hope for change.
Russ Thurow is one of the region’s leading biologists on salmon and steelhead. Jim Norton is an
energy expert and world-traveled river guide, and was the fisheries program advisor for
Ecotrust, Rick Johnson has been ICL’s executive director for 25 years and is well acquainted
with the “art of the possible” in regional politics.
