Gov. Little said it himself — climate change is real. It’s been a wild week for the legislators, passing their first bill and debating funding for wolf hunts.

How to create your own powerful story in 3 steps.

Every time you share your experience on how conservation has improved your life in Idaho, or express your gratitude for clean air, water and land — you help Idaho value these important things.

Get caught up on what’s happening the first week the Idaho State legislators are back in session! From water to traps to ties, we’ve got it all!

The federal fisheries biologists who were working to keep Idaho’s steelhead season open have been deemed “non-essential” by the Trump administration and were furloughed. ICL writes to Gov. Little in the hope that he agrees with us: Idaho families that depend on healthy runs of salmon and steelhead are essential. These people matter, their jobs matter and these fish matter.

The Forest Service has long recognized that these diversions likely harm salmon and other fish facing extinction.

98.6% of Idaho’s Snake River steelhead die from causes downstream. Of the 1.6% that return to Idaho, only 3.2% of these may die from incidental interactions with anglers.

The key to designing a good restoration project is having feedback from locals who know the trails and the backcountry areas. Be part of the conversation!

At ICL we believe common ground and opportunities for action exist.

With Idaho’s mountain caribou herds on the brink of extinction, the tribes’ biologists are stepping up to lead the way.
