Stronghold : one man's quest to save the world's wild salmon

Malarkey, Tucker (author.).

Summary: Environmentalists Guido Rahr has dedicated his life to saving the environment, working to preserve the world's last pristine stronghold habitat for salmon in Russia's Far East-- a landscape of ecological richness and diversity that is rapidly being developed for oil, gas, minerals, and timber in the Putin era. He believes that the fate of the salmon is linked with the fate of humanity, as they contribute in essential ways to our own habitat. Malarkey reveals the astonishing natural history of the salmon, while also providing a fascinating narrative that takes the reader to remote, inhospitable terrain and into the world of Russian oligarchs, corrupt officials, and impenetrable bureaucracies.
