Owyhee Canyonlands, Sustainable Alaskan Village, Algae Power, Climbing Fish | This American Land 402
Much of Oregon is a desert; and in the dry, remote southeastern corner of the state there’s a wild and captivating canyon landscape carved by the Owyhee River. It’s been described as the largest intact, unprotected stretch of the American West, but it needs more protection from development pressure, including mining. A robust campaign for wilderness designation is making progress.
We travel to a remote Alaskan village, Igiugig, where young native Alaskans are adopting new technologies and green ethics to build a healthy, sustainable future while keeping true to their traditions.
With another report on emerging biofuels, we learn about new advances in converting algae into a wide range of useful products, including oil, growing the algae with by-products from corn ethanol distilleries.
Researchers study a type of Goby fish in Hawaii that climbs up steep waterfalls to reach its freshwater spawning areas, an amazing story of adaptation and evolution over time.
Environmentalism has been turned into a high dollar industry and these people have to protect their six figure jobs by taking away your land and locking it up to any other use but what they deem acceptable. The horseman and the hunter are both fools if they think the enviros will save them a place at the environmental banquet table. Horses are being regulated and chased out of wilderness areas all over Idaho and the United States by being blamed for environmental damage. Hunters, gun owners and killers of wild game are the ultimate target of any left wing liberal. You are crazy if you think liberals will allow hunters to use the land once they begin to regulate any proposed wild area. BTW – every time I make a comment on this video, when I return it has been deleted simply because I do not share their lock-it-up ideology…
