As recently as 50 years ago, the Snake River and its
tributaries were among the world’s greatest salmon
rivers. No more. A series of hydroelectric dams along
the once majestic and free-flowing water way has made
it all but impossible for salmon, especially Columbia
basin Chinook, to swim to the Pacific and to the orcas
who feed off them. Now both animals face extinction.
This is the basis of Dammed to Extinction, a one-hour
film playing Saturday. Dammed to Extinction, based on
a chapter of Steven Hawley’s 2011 book Recovering a
Lost River, played at the recent Eugene Environmental
Film Festival. The film’s co-sponsors are the Sierra Club,
the Rachel Carson Academy at Churchill High School,
Cascadia Wildlands and Earthkeepers as well as a
coalition of church environmental groups. The director
Steve Hawley will be available for questions after the
movie, and Jeff Ziller of the Oregon Department of Fish
& Wildlife will offer an update on the upper Willamette
spring Chinook and the dams blocking them from their
spawning grounds.
Dammed to Extinction, a one-hour film with
discussion to follow, is 7 pm, Saturday, Nov. 23 at the
Unitarian Universalist Church, 1685 W. 13th Ave. FREE.
